CounSELing Connections
January 2022
Character Theme of the Month ~ Tolerance
What are kids learning during SEL/Choose Love Lessons?
The ability to understand the perspectives of and empathize with others, including those from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and contexts. This includes the capacity to feel compassion for others, understand broader historical and social norms for behavior in different settings, and recognize family, school, and community resources and supports.
Choose Love Family Activity Calendar
One part of the Choose Love Formula is Forgiveness. With the start of a new year there's not better time to work on letting go feelings of resentment or anger and focusing on positive emotions, such as understanding, empathy, and compassion. Many studies have proven that forgiveness is good for your overall heath, lowering stress and anxiety to mention a few. The January Family Activity Calendar is filled with fun ways to practice!
