Dear Parents and Guardians,
This school year, I (Abigail Claesson, HSHS Art Teacher) have committed to creating a series of digital posts with easy techniques and suggestions for supporting your child(ren) as they navigate high school. According to research done at the Center on Developing Children, at Harvard University: “The single most common factor for children who develop resilience is at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive parent, caregiver, or other adult.” Check out this research-backed method which will foster resiliency and positive study skills. Keep an eye out for future posts! - Ms. Claesson
