Ways to Make a Difference
Counselor's Corner with Mrs. Points
This week's guidance lessons will focus on Using Flexibility to Strengthen Resilience. I hope your family will catch both my Thursday Facebook lesson and my weekly Canvas site lesson found in our remote learning center. Thank you for allowing me to support your child's social and emotional learning during this time where we are physically apart.
Coping Skills Challenge
Each week, I will be presenting 6 new coping skill ideas that both children and adults
can use. Challenge your child (and family) to try one of the week's coping skills. I'd love
to hear about your adventure in finding emotional balance at kpoints@conroeisd.net.
