Today we hosted a parent coffee to discuss how to promote positive peer relationships and provide children with effective problem solving strategies. We reviewed the power of modeling empathy as parents as well as explicitly teaching it to our kids. We discussed importance of empowering children to problem solve on their own and shared the STEP strategy for solving problems: Say the problem without blame, Think of safe and respectful solutions, Explore consequences (if…., then….), Pick the best solution & make a plan. While there is far too much information to cover here in our counselor corner, we have posted the slides to our SEL website. You can view the slides here.
