Quote(s) of the Week
Interesting Reading & Viewing
- I have to admit, I’m getting hooked on this series of videos: Small Things, Big Ideas. Some of what the speaker talks about might help me understand the draw of the chessboard in our courtyard. The hidden way stairs shape your life.
- Ms. Coulson shared this one with me last week: Anxiety in children” A metaphor to put you in their shoes (and right beside them). From this article “Anxiety will haul them into the future and buddy them with plenty of ‘what-ifs’, which are the raging fuel for anxiety.”
- This website is also via Ms. Coulson. It has a link to a book called Hey Warrior which is meant to help kids understand anxiety (the video trailer is great, and I’ll be ordering the book for the school library), and the site has a ton of other useful information for families. Hey Sigmund: Where the science of psychology meets the art of being human.
