It’s often difficult for children to know what to say or do when they recognize a peer or family member needs help. They may be afraid of intruding or saying the wrong thing so they assume someone else will intervene. If they know someone needs help, the person to say something is them. If we can get students help when they need it instead of waiting for someone else to do it, then we decrease the likelihood of bullying, school violence, substance abuse, and suicide. Based on students’ developmental levels, we will explore this topic with our students:
We encourage you to support our efforts by discussing this month’s topic of how to help a friend or family member. Remember that if your child shares thoughts or behaviors that concern you, you too can follow the A.C.T. model (acknowledge, care, tell). Check us out next month when we explore: Healthy Relationships. Remember that if your child shares thoughts or behaviors that concern you there are many resources available to you at your student’s school (counselor, mental health provider, teacher) and in the community. Your child’s safety is of the utmost importance, and we at Timber Trail Elementary will do all we can to support every student’s well-being. Please consider the options on PREVENTION and SCHOOL CULTURE (https://www.dcsdk12.org/prevention-and-school-culture) website if you want to learn more about this topic.
