How to Handle Stress-
Sophrosyne Program in Action
Mrs. MacNeille guided her Fifth Grade Sophrosyne class in
a discussion of unhealthy and healthy responses to stress.
The boys shared freely about situations that they found
stressful, such as taking exams, or performing on stage. They
learned that instead of using maladaptive coping strategies,
such as avoidance or amplification, stressful situations
can be faced with agility and full emotional knowledge.
Sophrosyne class emphasizes excellence of character and a
healthy state of mind through self-control, moderation, and
self-awareness. It addresses boys’ character education and
social-emotional health.
