MENTAL HEALTH TIP OF THE MONTH!
SEPTEMBER:
Think of this year as a new start!
A new school year is a chance to start fresh. Kids change a lot over the summer. New experiences, friends, or even a growth spurt can shift your child's perspective. Encourage your child to see a new year as an opportunity to learn and grow and work on changing any behaviors that didn't work well last year. Their goals and values can guide them in creating a new start. For example:
* If your child complained a lot last year, encourage him/her to find the good in situations this year. Remind your student to think about classes, teachers, and friends they enjoy, not only the ones that frustrate them.
* If poor decisions were made last year, encourage your child to use better judgement. Suggest trying the "Stop, Relax, and Think" method.
