Consider these questions:
1) How can I help my student believe they will be successful?
2) How can I increase the value of the activity for my student?
- Goal-setting conversations - elementary: short-term/daily and specific choices, middle school: longer-term weekly goals and break into smaller parts, high school: long-term self-directed goals.
- Track progress and make a plan for when your student gets stuck. Talk about how the goal relates to things your student values.
- With rewards, focus on effort and not results as well as be specific about what you are rewarding.

Slowing Down

This 2-minute video for parents features Mental Health Therapist Stephanie Dann talking about motivation.
Uploaded Jan 07, 2021 to COVID-19 Information
When things are new, overwhelming, or stressful, we often can feel panic.
When you feel panic, try slowing down as your first response. Slowing down gets your brain into a calm space. One where you can think through your options and explore what you and your child may need.
There are many ways to slow down:
· Take a deep breath
· Physically move your body slower
· Remind yourself that it takes time to form a routine
· Step outside or take a walk
· Take a drink of water
· Agree to wait until later to make a decision about something -

Cognitive Coaching
Featured
This 3-minute video for parents features Mental Health Therapist Stephanie Dann talking about how to use cognitive coaching with students when they feel stressed.
Uploaded Nov 12, 2020 to COVID-19 Information
- Thoughts impact how we feel and how we feel impacts what we do. We can help students to think differently through cognitive coaching.
- Validating how our students think and feel is the first step before problem solving.
- Help your student to evaluate: is this thought true, helpful, or kind? If not, how can I think differently about this situation.
Challenge: It is hard to see our students struggle, try hard at first to validate their experience before helping them to think differently! -

Sleep Hygiene for caregivers
This 4 minute video for caregivers features Elk Ridge Elementary School Counselor Jonathan Andrus sharing about sleep hygiene.
Uploaded Jun 04, 2020
The purpose of sleep hygiene is to help us get deep sleep. This will help your mood, increase your mental health, and keep you more alert during the day.
Getting outside and getting sunlight helps the body prepare for sleep. Daylight regulates your body's internal clock.
A bedtime routine is important for the whole family and save your bed just for sleep if you can.
If it takes longer than 20 minutes to fall asleep, get up and do something relaxing in another room. Resetting outside of the bedroom is better than staring at the time or worrying about falling asleep.
Challenge: If you are having a hard time going to sleep - quickly jot down the thoughts that are overwhelming you so that you think about them later, or do something from your night time routine to reset. -

Control and Acceptance
Featured
This 3-minute video for parents features Mental Health Therapist Stephanie Dann talking about control and acceptance.
Uploaded Dec 10, 2020 to COVID-19 Information
- Wanting control isn’t a bad thing, but trying to control things we can’t over time doesn’t work and is exhausting. “When you try to control everything, you enjoy nothing.”
- Acceptance is giving up the struggle with things you can’t control and accepting reality for what it is, even if we don’t like it.
- Focus on what you can control: my attitude, how much news and social media I consume, following health guidelines, finding ways to have fun at home, how I treat others
Challenge: When your student is having a difficult time, help them to focus on what they can control and act on that! - 1:25 Levy Video Swarm the Stands Featured Uploaded Feb 04, 2020

Uploaded Feb 16, 2021 to COVID-19 Information
- We can change how our bodies feel when we are stressed by using progressive muscle relaxation.
-This involves focusing our attention on different parts of the body, noticing how they feel, tensing the area, and then releasing. It can help to pretend like you are squeezing the water out of a clay ball.
-Try squeezing hard for 10 seconds and releasing your hands, toes, shoulders, jaw, and in between your eyes. You can do other parts of the body too if you wish.
Challenge: When you feel stressed or upset, try taking a minute to use progressive muscle relaxation to release the tension. - 7:04 Welcome Back 2023-2024 Uploaded Sep 18, 2023 by Maiden Greene
