In this episode Jen Mead returns to discuss the importance of “I” statements and how she teaches young people how to use them. Jen is the NYS Health Teacher of the Year and focuses her teaching on skill development in the classroom setting.

As noted in this episode by the Puberty Prof, an “I feel” statement includes four parts:

I feel _____ when _______ because ______. I need/want __________.

An example of a complete “I feel” statement is: "I feel angry when we started our meeting late because we were supposed to start at 4pm. I need us to plan better for the future."
