October's Parenting Focus: Mindfulness

The new SGS Center for Family Engagement will have a theme for each month this year.  October's focus is "Mindfulness" and the ways that students and their families can be aware of what's going on around them, present to the people they are with, and able to focus on one thing at a time.  School counselor Meghan Kilgore has some helpful tips and book suggestions for different ages.  Plus, each month a parent guest writer will share their thoughts on the topic of the month.  This month Julie Reichel writes about how her family and Saint George's classrooms try to reduce stress and encourage kindness.  If you would like to be a parent guest writer, please email meghan.kilgore@sgs.org.
