September Counseling Lessons

Post date: Oct 17, 2016 2:16:59 PM

Over the course of September both the Kindergarten and the 1st graders have covered Habit #1 and talked about stranger safety! Habit #1 says...."Be Proactive - I'm in charge". This means that you are in charge of you....your hands, feet and what you say and do are all decisions that you make. Self-responsibility is an important concept that helps us to realize that we truly are in charge of ourselves and how things go for us.

When talking about Stranger Safety we watched John Walsh's video called "The Safe Side". This video helped explain what kinds of people we can trust and not trust, and what to do if someone approaches us that we don't know. We also got some hot tips on what to do when someone comes to your door!

During October we will continue to emphasize Habit #1 and be learning Habit #2. By the end of this year, we will have gone through and had lessons about all 7 Habits of Happy Kids and be on our way to taking responsibility for our actions and being able to work well with others!
