Happy November! I hope everyone survived all the pumpkin patches and Halloween celebrations! I came across this great website in one of my continuing education courses and thought I’d pass it along! It has great suggestions for each age level (through high school) and talks about various aspects of social-emotional development:  Parent Tool Kit

Also, don’t forget to mark your calendar for our first parent education night in December!
