Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the growth occurs while you’re climbing it...
Thank you, #SchoolPsychologists, for supporting the growth of children and families.

Every child faces challenges when heading back to school. But back-to-school time can be exceptionally difficult for the 20 percent of children who suffer from a mental health or learning disorder.

The school environment demands many things that summer activities don’t — the ability to sit still; get organized; stay on task; and adapt to a new, highly structured daily schedule. School also requires kids to separate from their parents and interact with peers — enormously challenging tasks for any child with anxiety.

Given that math anxiety can impact students' well-being, math performance, and future economic opportunities, school psychologists must be familiar with math anxiety, including what it is, what it is not, and how to address it. Read the new CQ article now: https://t.co/JI1S5t0ODr

I spent 4 pds today talking to a variety of classes about the power of mindfulness and meditation. We practiced meditation and talked about the physiological response our bodies have as a result. Ss want school wide meditation time. This is my purpose. @CroneSchool

Schools may think they want me to present on “bullying,” but after we talk, they get why that’s too narrow. To change kids’ behavior, we 1st need to normalize social churn, demystify popularity, operationalize kindness, help them assume good intent, & ID when & why they’re mean.

@LParker_PsyS Can you share the article?

[Jennie Mevoli @JennieMevoli]

@Pfagell Struggling explaining this to my own teen. I cannot understand how some kids can literally be so mean but then nice the next day. I said these are not your friends. But kids want friends.

[Jennie Mevoli @JennieMevoli]

@CronePTSA @CroneSchool Parents, don't forget to join our PTSA meeting Wednesday, Dec. 7 at 9:30 am. Jenna Fash of Fash Counseling will be joining us along with 3-4 of her practitioners to speak about teen mental health and host a Q&A session! We look forward to seeing you!

[Jennie Mevoli @JennieMevoli]

@LParker_PsyS I agree. We need to start early. Better SEL curriculums. We need more mental health providers in schools. As a school psych, most of my time now is spent doing evaluations. When I go into classrooms to talk about mental health the kids are yearning for more.
