Parenting Workshop

Hello,
It was brought to my attention that I did not mention when and where the parenting workshop "Character Matters" will take place. Dr. Saliha will be presenting on Monday, December 14th from 8:10-9:30 in the ES/PS conference room. Hope to see you there!

Happy almost last week before the holidays!

A couple of notes before we get completely wrapped up in the whirlwind next week and then the holidays after.

1. Please join us for our last parent presentation in 2015 :o). Dr. Saliha from The LightHouse Arabia will be hosting an informative workshop entitled Character Matters. It will go over the 10 essential values that are the anchor of a healthy and happy family system. 

• Participants will learn how families of character practice their virtues.
• Participants will also learn practical ways they can encourage building character in their children (and themselves). 

2. Please look for the latest issue of my newsletter on the newsletter tab. In this one we look at the importance of traditions in a family...not just tied to the holidays or any one particular religious even but in general.

Have a lovely weekend!

Have a lovely weekend and try to stay dry :o)

Happy first weekend of the school year!

Congratulations on finishing the first week of school. I know there have been some tears and some anxiety (both from parents and kids ;o)) but I feel like it was a great week overall! I am so proud of all our little learners! It took a lot of courage and stamina to get through the week...and they did it! Please be sure to fill out a group permission slip if you are interested in having your son or daughter participate in a counseling group and send it in their folder in an envelope addressed to me.
Have a lovely weekend and I will see you on Sunday!

Welcome Back!!!

Summer's over and it is time for a fresh new school year. Welcome back and I can't wait to hear about your adventures this summer. If you are new to DAA...welcome to our family of leopards! We are excited to have you join us.

I would also like to welcome you to my counseling blog. I have put this blog together in the hopes that I can provide support, resources and updates from the counseling department in a much more immediate and continuous manner.  I will usually update the blog once every two weeks or so with new information regarding parenting or personal wellness events. Each month I will also be posting a newsletter focused on one topic. If there are any topics that you would like me to cover please let me know. I take requests! :o)

Be sure to insert your email on the right hand side in order to subscribe to the blog. That way you will receive notifications when I post something new. This will be the primary method of communication...so be sure to subscribe so you don't miss anything.

I hope you have a smooth transition to the new school year and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Have a great day!!

Ramadan Kareem!

Ramadan Kareem to all our Muslim friends and families. As we move into Ramadan we also slide into our lat week of school for this year. It is always a bittersweet time, as everyone is ready for a break but with it comes a lot of goodbyes, transitions and changes. Please be sure to check my final newsletter regarding summer learning loss, transitions, and saying goodbye to friends and teachers. Be safe in your travels, enjoy your adventures and i hope to see you in August.
If you are moving on from DAA or Dubai entirely...please know that you will always be part of our family of leopards...no matter how far you travel.

moving. No more procrastination, let’s start and keep running!
