Welcome back to School! During the first quarter of the school year, my time is spent assisting students, parents, and teachers with issues concerning settling into the school year. I assist and provide consultation on issues relating to separation anxiety and school phobia. This can be a very stressful and emotional time for parents, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you are experiencing problems. We want school to be a positive experience for everyone!! In addition, I will be teaching classroom guidance lessons in Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade on a weekly basis. At this time the children will be learning about identifing their feelings and how those feelings can affect their behavior. We will learn about how you can't always choose your feelings, but you can choose your behavior. We will also review the importance of school rules, and how everyone benefits when we follow the rules.
