Counselor's Corner
CAST Med High School - SAISD - February 2020
THIS MONTH'S CHARACTER PILLAR IS - Caring
There are two main ideas that apply to the pillar of caring.
- Concern for others: Show compassion and empathy. Be kind, loving and considerate in your actions. Be grateful for the things people do for you. Forgive the shortcomings of others. Don’t be mean or cruel to others. Be sensitive the feelings of others.
- Compassion: Children can learn that people should be considerate and caring. Instead of ignoring hurt, confusion, anger and sadness they can learn that people should reach out to one another. As Plato quoted “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle!” we can never tell what difficulties another person is facing, and your kind word or action might make all the difference.

Q & A WITH THE COUNSELOR
Q:I've never felt comfortable with math. How should I talk to my child about what he's learning in math class?
A:Try to show enthusiasm for what your youngster is doing in math. You might ask him each day at dinner or homework time what he studied in math that day. Let him explain the concepts he's working on, and follow up with questions. And he'll be proud to be teaching you something!
