Emotion Regulation for Real‑World Troop Life
Session 2
Big Feelings, Brave Leaders: Helping Girl Scouts Navigate Emotions With Confidence
From a younger Girl Scout's tough moments to a teen’s sudden stress, emotional intensity is part of growing up. This session explores how emotion regulation develops across ages and what leaders can do when feelings run high. Leaders leave with a practical toolkit for co‑regulation, grounding strategies, and proactive supports that help maintain a calm, positive, and productive environment. Unlock the brain’s “Command Center” as we explore the Big Four executive‑functioning skills: Memory, Flexibility, Impulse Control, and Planning. Learn how these skills shape everything from getting to troop meetings to group activities. Leaders leave with age‑specific, concrete strategies they can use during games and troop routines to help every Girl Scout build stronger thinking and self‑management skills.
