We want to thank everyone who attended our Parent Seminar this past Monday. We are looking forward to hosting more of these seminars in the future. Here are a few main takeaways from the seminar:

Top Tips on Tackling Anxiety:

1. Let your child know it is normal and okay not to feel happy all the time.
2. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your child’s.
3. Allow small, “bites-sized”, mistakes and discomfort while the stakes are low.
4. It is okay and important to share times when you felt sad, angry, and/or anxious with your child.
5. Come up with a calm down plan.
6. It is important to create a healthy balance of work, play, connection, and rest at home.
7. Setting limits and boundaries serve a positive purpose for your child. 
8. Know when to seek help. Never hesitate to reach out to your Guidance Counselors if you feel your child’s anxiety is negatively impacting their day, learning, and relationships.
