This video is another look at
setting up the Have a Go Spaghettio! Success Helper classroom. It offers
classroom strategies that help to acquaint children with the think, feel, do
connection a la Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy. Give it a try banana pie!
The Success Helper Well Being Framework has been adopted by many schools in
Australia. It embodies the thinking and ideas of Dr. Albert Ellis who created
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy. His ABC Theory of Emotional Disturbance is
a counselling paradigm used universally to help people navigate their way
through life. Ellis' therapeutic approach to wellbeing, mental health
promotion/education is influenced by Stoic philosophy, Alfred Korzybski's
General Semantics theory, Bertrand Russell's ideas and many more who teach that
thinking, feeling, and behaving are all interconnected. The Success Helper Well
Being Framework teaches children that they have the potential to manage their
extreme and often self-defeating emotions/behaviours successfully, if they
learn how these are influenced by their habits of thinking - their perceptions
and assessments of what's happening around them. Unconditional self-acceptance
is taught via the Framework which demonstrates to children that they are always
worthwhile no matter what. In other words, their intrinsic value/worth cannot
be taken away by failure or criticism of others; they are always worthwhile.
This kind of headset or habit of thinking/believing is a kind of psychological
resilience that protects them against psychological harm. e.g. To firmly
believe that 'I am not your opinion of me' expresses the deep and firm
understanding that an opinion of another does not/cannot define their whole
being. It is irrational to think this way. Jonas Salk, who discovered the polio
vaccine is known to have said how useful it would be if we could
psychologically immunise ourselves against psychological harm. Unconditional
self-acceptance certainly helps children deal with challenges of failure and
rejection in a way that helps them keep their positive sense of self intact so
they can rally through the tough times and
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy was developed by Dr. Albert Ellis in the 1950's. Educators are beginning to rethink how they address behaviour in schools. Slowly we are appreciating that if students are to learn how to better manage themselves emotionally and behaviourally more successfully then REBT has a lot to offer through RATIONAL EMOTIVE BEHAVIOUR EDUCATION
