Counselor's Corner
Conflicts are a natural part of life so teaching our kids how to appropriately stand up for themselves and use their words is important to healthy relationship development. Check out these resources that discuss how to help your student stand up for themselves and use "I Statements" to tell someone how they are feeling about a situation. Practicing with your student is helpful to ensuring they feel confident with these conflict resolution skills!
