Tip of the Week
Model Flexible Thinking This Week!
During winter break something is bound to happen that will require you and your family to change your plan. Being flexible and “rolling” with unexpected change is difficult for students and adults, alike. When it happens, take a deep breath and use it as an opportunity to model flexible thinking for your child. You might even talk through the change of plan out loud so your child can be privy to your thought process and see how it’s done. Flexibility is an important life and executive function skill. The more students see it modeled, the better they’ll be able to respond when you’re not around to problem-solve for them.
