Welcome to the Noble Knights' Quest for: Social Emotional Remote Learning, Resources for Emotional Health and much more
Hello everyone and welcome to the Pace Lower School Counselor Wellness Site: Noble Knights' Quest!
Message from the Counselor and symptoms to look out for
Hello everyone! I miss you to pieces! I am here to help! It is so important that right now we all take a pause! Do not feel that you need to continue going without missing a beat! We are in a world crisis that is historic. A parent shared with me today that the pollen levels are higher than they've ever been and she commented that she and her husband joke and say, "Hey Mother Nature, read the room!" That was classic! It's so important, now more than ever, that you set boundaries and truly "read the room" in your own households. If you have a child that is exhibiting these symptoms:
Excessive crying or irritation in younger children
Returning to behaviors they have outgrown (for example, toileting accidents or bedwetting)
Excessive worry or sadness
Unhealthy eating or sleeping habits
Irritability and “acting out” behaviors in all ages
Poor school performance or avoiding school
Difficulty with attention and concentration
Avoidance of activities enjoyed in the past
Unexplained headaches or body pain
Tired easily
Having meltdowns
Seeming scared
I would recommend reaching out to the Counselor.
