Counselor's Corner
Welcome
In March, we learned about
Listening to Others-whole body listening (eyes looking, ear listening, mouths quiet, body still, brain is thinking, hearts show that you care)
Responding to Others- taking turns talking, listening and responding.
This month we will be learning
Being Assertive- self-confidence, "Speak Up and Speak Kindly"
Identifying and Solving Problems-
1. Stop and Calm Down
2. Talk to understand the problem
3. Think of a possible solution
4. Try a solution and see how it works
Cooperating and Being Considerate- have a great teamwork while respecting each other
I look forward to seeing you at the live Guidance lesson. If you have any questions, please email me redunham@aldineisd.org
