Update from the Counselor
Parenting tips, resources and more
Dear Families,
In addition to parenting tips, this newsletter contains resources that can help you with different types of support- both emotional and financial. If you have a need that isn't addressed in this newsletter, PLEASE don't hesitate to reach out.
Finally, I want to make sure that you all know that although children are not currently on campus, I am still here and available. If your child would like to check in with me, or you have a question to ask, I can be reached at kmacleod@powayusd.com
Sincerely,
Katie MacLeod
Counselor
Motivating your children!
Taking away privileges as a consequence for not handling your responsibilities can work, and can have a role in parenting, but it also creates a lot of arguing, whining and an overall unpleasant setting in your home.
I have found that it is much more enjoyable to help your children earn their privileges rather than take them away. They are in charge and most of the arguing and pleading is no longer necessary. Please watch the series of short videos for more details.
