Over the years, you’ve heard about (and, hopefully, have experienced) Kehillah’s participation in the Common Ground Speaker Series, a parent-education consortium of 42 schools now entering its 20th season. Each year, Common Ground presents a slate of distinguished speakers and special events on leading-edge topics designed to address some of the most pressing challenges parents and educators face in building strong families, engaging schools, and healthy communities. This year, events are held virtually over Zoom. As members of Common Ground, Kehillah families and educators may attend Common Ground events free of charge.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Unlocking the Power of Emotions
Jan 25, 7pm PDT
As we continue to navigate this post-pandemic life our emotions can serve as key sign-posts for developing strategies to better manage the stress and uncertainty of what comes next. Tapping into our emotions and naming them can help us make better decisions, build stronger relationships, perform better academically and professionally and improve our health. In this talk Dr. Brackett will discuss how giving our children and ourselves permission to feel our feelings and name them can increase our ability to regulate tough emotions using tools such as the “mood meter” and “meta moment” to be our best selves in addressing day to day stressors.
