Dear Families,

Next week we’re beginning a new theme in our classroom, “My Family and Friends”. In the first week of this theme, we will explore how families work and play together and how families can be alike and different. We will have lots of fun discovering how fabulous families can be!

Next week’s Family Connections activities can be found at https://lilypad2.frogstreet.com/public/resouce-detail/9c82df29-a5b1-416c-aa97-d44778a64b10

Next week’s storybook, “Families” can be found at https://lilypad2.frogstreet.com/public/resouce-detail/3a6a0bd5-f6b4-48ee-b514-13279cfcfcba

We look forward to exploring this new theme in our classroom!!

Sincerely,

Positive ways to manage everyday challenges

Little children can have BIG emotions. And that can mean meltdowns, bedtime battles and aggressive behavior. Parents and caregivers need positive solutions that really work, for all kinds of situations.

• When children get better at things like routines, sharing, and getting along with others, family life gets a lot better.
• Children gain valuable life skills like problem-solving to help them now, and in the future.
• Children can learn to talk about strong emotions and handle them calmly.

Triple P can support you with strategies that take some of the challenges out of family life, leading to happier, calmer everyday living.
