The Tool of the Month for February is "talking to an adult". Talking to an adult allows children to problem solve, process feelings and get feedback on ways they can manage them. Letting someone else know how you feel or that you need help is an important self-advocacy skill. When children have worries, letting someone else know can make the feeling or worry smaller. Research shows that when children feel connected to an adult, they are more resilient. This month, discuss with your child who they can go to at home, school and any other place where they spend time. Role play what it might be like to tell someone a problem or something they are worried about. Using this tool can help children in all zones.
