Pausing before choosing what to do: family follow-up

Subject: Pausing before choosing what to do — optional family practice

Hello families and caregivers,

Here is a short school story you can talk about together.

A picture tears while Sam is coloring. Sam feels upset and wants to crumple it.

Ask: “What could they do before trying again?”

One possible response is: Rest the paper on the table and ask for tape or another sheet.

Your child can talk, draw, or listen. A different answer may work too. This is optional; there is nothing to buy or return.

Thank you, Your school counseling team
