Counselor's Corner
Let's Connect
Hello
Please take a few minutes to read through the events we have coming up. Your involvement plays a significant role in your child's success. Continue having those conversations with your children about what they are learning in guidance because the more we reinforce the importance of their social and emotional well-being, the greater impact we have on them!!
I hope you all enjoy your weekend,
Mrs. Maltsberger
Boyer Counselor

Parenting Tip
While many kids are lucky enough to become the best of friends with their siblings, it's common for brothers and sisters to fight. (It's also common for them to swing back and forth between adoring and detesting one other!)
Often, sibling rivalry starts even before the second child is born, and continues as the kids grow and compete for everything from toys to attention. As kids reach different stages of development, their evolving needs can significantly affect how they relate to one another.
It can be frustrating and upsetting to watch and hear your kids fight with one another. A household that's full of conflict is stressful for everyone. Yet often it's hard to know how to stop the fighting, and or even whether you should get involved at all. But you can take steps to promote peace in your household and help your kids get along.
