Text Box: Teacher Talk: Handling stress and challenge Stress and challenge can be seen by some as an opportunity, by others as a nightmare. People who can imagine or visualise themselves handling their challenges or stresses in a positive way, with an image of themselves having some power or control, are able to bounce back better after tough times.  Think how  easy it is to get pictures in your mind of yourself failing or stuffing up. It takes mental  muscle for humans to build up the opposite pictures.               Text Box: Play and talk Girls are more likely to use talk to deal with issues that upset them. Boys are more likely to ‘do’ than ‘talk’. The Activities offer a combination of ‘do’ and ‘talk’ to cater to this range of needs. Ideally the girls may benefit from the ‘play’ and ‘do’, and the boys may benefit from the ‘talk.’ Do not be surprised if each group resists or devalues the activity which they do not normally prefer. Be clear about the intention of your activity. Be prepared to tell students why they are doing these activities and what can be gained from the ‘play’ and the ‘talk’.
