Counselor's Corner
A Note from Your Counselor: Try the 2x10 Challenge!
Feeling disconnected or stuck in daily power struggles with your child? Try the 2x10 Strategy:
Spend 2 minutes a day for 10 consecutive days having a one-on-one conversation about something they love—completely free of chatter about school, grades, or chores.
Just two focused minutes a day can reset daily tension, rebuild trust, and strengthen your bond. Give it a try starting today!
Positive Choices Week is right around the corner! It fits right in with our big idea for the month of October: integrity! Counseling lessons this month focus on making great choices even with others aren’t looking, as well as bullying prevention: being an upstander to those making hurtful choices.
