Calvin's Thought of the Week:

Just try to prevent fear 
from making your decisions for you.”

How to deal with challenges:
Today we discussed how our brains respond to pressure and anxiety. Sometimes we want our brain wants us to fight, other times, to flight or we just freeze. However, we need to learn how control our emotions and our brain's response. Learning how to face challenges helps us grow and be in charge when dealing with new or uncomfortable situations. Ask your child how she or he faces challenges!
