Responsibility is doing the right thing!
⧫ Problem Solving is an essential skill, knowing how big the problem is is the first step!
⧫ Challenge yourself and children to use their whole body to listen. When we listen with our heart, we engage in an active and caring way.
⧫Safety and boundaries: Students need to listen to their body, and set boundaries when needed. Modeling this skill for our students is crucial as they navigate through recognizing the signals in our body when something is not right and how to access the helpers at school, in our families and in our community. Help children identify the helpers at home and in the community that make them feel safe and protected.
