HELPING CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS DEVELOP EMOTIONAL SELF-REGULATION SKILLS
As students returned to school, the ability to readjust to more structured routines of learning,
academic workload demands, positive peer interactions, and social-emotional coping skills have
been a struggle for many students. Some students have experienced anxiety, depression and
emotional dysregulation. Many have struggled to use positive coping skills.
If you have a child that could be struggling with emotional self-regulation, please consider joining this workshop.

Soaring Into Bald Eagle Watching Days
The 36th anniversary of Bald Eagle Watching Days is happening Jan. 14-15 to celebrate the species and its remarkable comeback in Wisconsin. All Bald Eagle Watching Days events are free and open to the public. Wisconsin's longest-running eagle-watching event features in-person and virtual activities. Participants can catch a glimpse of eagles over the Wisconsin River at the newly renovated overlook on Water Street in Prairie du Sac. Volunteers will be available at the overlook to answer questions about bald eagles on both days from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., weather permitting. On Saturday, visitors can enjoy live raptor shows in the River Arts Center of the Sauk Prairie High School featuring educational birds and trainers from the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in Milwaukee, screening of a recently recorded rehabilitated bald eagle release with live expert Q&A session and more family-friendly activities. Full details are available on the Ferry Bluff Eagle Council website. For the first time in over 80 years, active bald eagle nests can be found in every county of Wisconsin. Bald Eagle Watching Days celebrates eagles as they gather in winter areas, affording fantastic viewing opportunities as eagles from northern Wisconsin, Canada, northern Michigan and Minnesota move south in search of food. Raptors looking for fish typically congregate along open water areas below dams along the Wisconsin, Mississippi and Fox rivers, where their growing presence has turned the sites into birdwatching destinations and inspired many community events. Bald Eagle Watching Days is co-sponsored by Ferry Bluff Eagle Council, the Sauk Prairie Area Chamber of Commerce, the Wisconsin DNR and Tripp Museum in Prairie du Sac. To learn more about bald eagle watching, visit the DNR website. Photo Credit: Beth Martin
