Good morning,
Yesterday’s Talk Tuesday I sent out to students discussed anxiety and how to implement coping skills into their daily lives (next week we’ll be talking about stress). Below are some resources for parents and guardians to help their child in case you need some extra tools to help ease any anxiousness at home during the coming weeks of uncertainty. The links below don’t talk about COVID-19 anxiety specifically, but they are all things you can utilize in any situation with kids of any age.
As always, please let me know if you need anything. I am happy to either email, video chat, or have a phone conversation with you and/or your child until we get back to school.
Have a great week!
Best,
Tara Kierstead
