Tips for Communicating With Your Teen
The teenage years have a lot in common with the terrible twos. During both stages our kids are doing exciting new things, but they’re also pushing boundaries (and buttons) and throwing tantrums. The major developmental task facing both age groups is also the same: kids must pull away from parents and begin to assert their own independence. No wonder they sometimes act as if they think they’re the center of the universe...
You can navigate these challenging times with the support of effective communication. This article contains some fantastic tips to communicating openly and honestly with your teen.

Welcome Back!
It has certainly been a whirlwind as we settle back into a school year, like no other. We are navigating uncharted territories together, and as a team we will make it through. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we worked out the details of the blended learning model and the new digital platforms.
We have loved having students back in the building...a school is not a school without the kids.
It's a new year and a new counseling team!
