Tip of the week:
Starting a new class or meeting new friends can be tough on kids, they can feel all types of emotions. To help your child, talk about how you feel when you start a new job, what your body feels like and what you do to relax.
Encourage your child to talk about their feelings, or if they can't explain have them act out what their favorite animal would do if they felt that way.

Tip of the week:
Following directions can be tricky when our emotions are high. Try giving your child two choices instead of an ultimatum.
