With Spring in the air and the final days ahead of us, we are facing a slight increase in less than ideal attitudes towards each other. These issues are being addressed in class as they come up, but I would love for the conversation to continue at home.
This is an excellent time to discuss how people read body language, first impressions, and the impact of hurtful words. Sharing with your student how you deal with people you don't enjoy in respectful manners can help students find new ways to deal with each other. Talk openly about how you deal with anger, fear, hurt, and frustration. Working together we can help everyone finish the year with a positive mind set.
Thank you!
