 sELF esteem 

One of the best things to do for our kids is to teach them to see their own goodness within themselves! One way to do this is by increasing their self esteem by utilizing activities to help them identify how they see themselves. 

So what is self esteem? Self esteem is how you see yourself. This can be when you achieve something by yourself and you feel proud, it can be when you try your best at something, when you do hard or tricky things and feel a sense of accomplishment. It can be even something that you just enjoy doing! 

This month we have been working with our ELC, LS and MS with creating their sELF esteem! 



This is such a fun and easy activity to use with all ages. All you have to do is color the elf head and feet and in the sELF esteem draw or write the positives you see within themselves.  These can be anything like being a good friend, swimming, creating games for your pets, eating (one of my favorite has been "eating like a linebacker"). This is really just to identify how you/they see themselves and you want the child to take the reins. 



This is a small thing that can help in a big way! and its a fun little holiday activity!

Social Media

 Social Media Check In  Since January, I have tried to take a step back from social media. I get it, its only March, but the reality of it is that our students are ingrained in social media everyday, nearly every moment. From Instagram, TikTok to snapchat and iMessage’s- our students are always connected. Although these things are wonderful because they do connect, they also have their own social emotional implications. One thing I recommend is periodically do social media check in. This will help you see what your kids are seeing/being influenced by/reading. This will also help your student to see what they are experiencing. Its easy to take a second, check in and to recalibrate the brain.  Also - since I stopped posting, nothing has happened. No major social implications, no minor issues. You will notice when you stop positing, connections thrive because the communication is more personal and intentional. Really take time to see what type of relationships you are cravin...

Holiday Stress The holidays are such a strange time, when you think about it. It is the most joyful and exciting time but it is also the most stressful and overwhelming time. Having to split your time, having to balancing families, having to stretch financially to give gifts, having to be everywhere when you don't want to be anywhere. So what happens to our joy?   The holidays should be a time to slow down, reflect on the year we had, take time with the ones you love and to just breathe. So what makes us do all of the holiday crazies? My hypothesis is we tend to take the last two months of the year to "catch up" on everything. As the end of the calendar year closes we want to make up for any "lost" time that we had at our jobs, with our families or with our friends. We want to make sure that we can close out the year on a high note. We also strive for showing others that we love them. During the holiday season two big love languages are being used: quality t...

  How to be Purple? Recently, I have got the pleasure to read the book "The World Needs More Purple People" by Kristen Bell and Benjamin Hart.  This is a great story told by Penny who is going through steps on how to be purple. It breaks down what a purple person is and what you get to do to be purple!  Being purple is a choice followed by actions. Being purple is easy, fun and its something that we can all work towards! Use this language with your child to remind them of what they are capable of and how we can all be purple by making the choices to ask good questions, laughing a lot, using our voice, working hard and being ourselves!
