Resources from the Child Mind Institute to help our students💗
Resources to Help Our Kids Thrive |
We all want our kids to be confident. But even at the best of times, kids can struggle to learn the crucial skills they need to tackle new challenges and cope with setbacks. And with everyone reeling from a year of disruption and stress, raising confident kids may feel tougher than ever. So how can families help kids and teens build self-esteem both now and as they grow? This week on childmind.org we take a look at the skills that form the building blocks of confidence. Some have to do with stretching out of their comfort zone and bouncing back when things don’t go their way. Others involve building healthy relationships with others, like setting boundaries and navigating conflict. - Rae Jacobson, Senior Writer | ✉ |

The IEP contains information about your child's interests, strengths, needs, goals, and educational program. It is a legal document that describes how the DOE will provide your child:
- A Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
- In the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).
