FRIENDSHIP!
Friendship is spending time with someone you trust and enjoy, and accepts you as you are.
Friendship can come in many forms. Some of your friends may be from school, while others may be from your neighborhood or activity that you are involved in. You can also have friends within your family. The friends your child chooses are critical influences in their lives. Ask your child what qualities he or she looks for in a friend and why it is important to have friends you can trust. After talking about true friends, plan a weekend this month to host a fun slumber party with the friends your child most trusts and enjoys. Plan the party together with your child, then sit back and enjoy watching him or her grow healthy relationships!
February Guidance Topics
This month during our guidance lessons we will be covering the character trait of friendship and careers. Within the friendship guidance lessons we will discuss the characteristics of friends, how to make and keep friends, the importance of friends, as well as how to handle changes in friendships. During our career guidance lessons, we will cover dreaming of what is desired, skill readiness, the importance of academics and social skills, and making a plan to achieve your goals. All lessons are designed for the developmental levels, and look different for all grade levels.
