Make a goal to set your child up for overall Academic AND Social-Emotional-Behavioral  SUCCESS this school year!
Are there any RESILIENCE FACTORS that you could improve on???
  • Sleep: 10-11 hours per night
  • Nutrition: Limit amount of processed foods (middle aisles of grocery store); aim for real foods (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains).
  • Exercise: 60 min/day
  • Partner with School: Support academic goals at home and communicate with School.
  • Facilitate peer relationships
  • Provide opportunity to make choices, take risks, and build competency. (It builds confidence and decision-making skills!)
  • Teach emotional awareness: Use feelings vocabulary at home, teach & model coping skills, allow expression of all feelings-even the negative ones, and teach communication skills (i.e. “I feel ___”).
  • Offer opportunity to be part of extended family and larger community
  • Teach cognitive flexibility (i.e. Thoughts-->Feelings-->Behaviors)
  • Teach perspective-taking and empathy
  • Spend time together
