Dear Lakeside Families,
This year, Lakeside is piloting a new social/emotional curriculum. Our hope is to deepen student's understanding of self regulation, communication, and decision making skills. Here are some suggestions for helping your child develop social and emotional skills at home.
Think out loud. When your child hears your thinking process, it helps her understand how to cope with frustration and solve problems: “Whoops. My favorite shopping bag has a hole in it. I’d better take another one with me to the grocery store.”
Read bedtime stories. There is something magical about this end-of-the-day routine that makes it the ideal time for talking about feelings. Discuss the characters and events in the story. Invite your child to share her thoughts and feelings by asking questions: “What do you think he should do? How do you think she feels? What would you do if you were this character?”
Do a job together. Instead of asking your child to do a chore alone, do it with her. The two of you might fold laundry, set the table, rake leaves, or paint a wall.
Play games. Card and board games and outdoor games such as tag or hop-scotch offer built-in opportunities for helping children learn to take turns, cooperate, handle frustration, and more. While playing games together, focus on fun instead of winning or losing.
Prevent potential problems. Before a friend comes to play, help your child put away toys he does not want to share. Before going to a birthday party, explain the expectations you have and what the signal will be for leaving the party without an argument.
When we work together to help children grow socially and emotionally, we see great success! Adapted from the Message in a Backpack, Teaching Young Children
Enjoy the weekend ahead! Don't forget to turn your clock back!

Reminder: Please be sure to check your student’s fees in Infinite Campus. Student's fees will follow them all through their school career in Oshkosh Area School District, and can make them ineligible for participation in some activities. |
