5 Ways to Bond With Your Child Over the Holidays
I hope this message finds you and your family preparing for the upcoming winter holidays. While can be such a busy time, it's also a valuable time to slow down and connect or reconnect with your adolescent. Life in middle school moves fast, for kids and for their families. Why not treat yourself to slowing down, together?
I came across an article this week I'd like to share here, which includes five ideas for how parents can bond with their kids. Here are the ways:
1. Plan a one-on-one outing.
2. Write a letter.
3. Give back, together.
4. Give your child coupons.
5. Don't be afraid to say "no".
When you have a few minutes, check out the full article here:

Thanks for all you do to make the school-home connection a success!
Sincerely,
