CES Counseling
OCTOBER
What Has Mrs. Steinman Been Up To?
Last month we talked about Initiative. Initiative is seeing what needs to be done and doing it. CES students learned about a real life example of taking initiative by hearing the story, "The Dog Poop Initiative." Yep, your kids learned about taking initiative by listening to a story about how some dog poo on a field made it difficult for kids to play their game. Ask if your student if they are a "Pointer" or a "Scooper." Scoopers get things done. Pointers see what needs to be done, but wait for someone else to do it. CES students came up with wonderful ways on how they can show that they are scoopers. Has your charming child offered to do the dishes at home, take out the trash, or clean up their room without being told? I hope so!! If not, remind them that they are Scoopers!

How Can My Child See The Counselor?
2. Teacher referral. Sometimes teachers notice that a child may be experiencing emotions that are interfering with learning.
3. Parent referral. You may send me an email or call my office.
