Counselor's Corner

Dear Anton families,

As we approach the holiday break, it's important to recognize how wonderful---and stressful---this time can be. Children and adults alike can easily become overwhelmed. Changes in routine, rich foods, and the memories of lost loved ones are just a few of the things that make the holidays bittersweet for many of us. Remember that children look to the adults in their life for guidance during stressful times, so taking care of yourself is a priority.
