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
