Yes! Every time I teach students mindfulness techniques I always explain mindfulness won’t make the problems go away, but you will be better able to problem solve. #schoolcounselor
#mindfulness won’t stop you from experiencing anger, anxiety or sadness, but it can help you to process these emotions in a healthier way.

Children start school with wide eyed wonder, curiosity, and a natural desire to explore and learn. No child starts school with a desire for standardized testing.

Overheard a popular 5th grade boy (who is taller than me) tell a fellow 5th grader I was his best friend. I asked if I heard him right and he said “Yeah!” And with all seriousness followed with, “Because you listen to me!” ❤️❤️ Made my year! #schoolcounselors #NSCW21
