As we enter the second half of the term, it is a good time to check in with how the students are travelling. Their social emotional health is equally as important as their academics. We need to learn to read the cues our students are sharing with us each day. Giving them time during the day to stop, reflect and share how they are feeling can be done in different ways: write a journal, draw a picture, by sitting outside to read a book or by changing the days schedule to allow for more break times. 

Take some time this week to read the attached article from Parenting Ideas, discussing how we can help kids to minimise their feelings of anxiety in this current climate. For further information you may like to subscribe to the Parenting Ideas Blog. https://www.parentingideas.com.au/blog

Take care and stay safe,
