Often, when people hear that I'm an elementary school counselor, they make comments about how it must be difficult to work with children going through difficult situations. Each time, I explain that I while I certainly help kids going through tough issues, most of my day involves helping kids navigate the everyday, but no less important, challenges of growing up: dealing with friendship issues, finding the courage to talk to parents and teachers about tough issues, accepting those who are different, showing kindness even when others won't, accepting responsibility, and the countless other challenges of navigating school as a child.
School counselors are here to help ALL students be successful. We work with children every day about a wide range of issues. So if you ever get a friendly call from your school's counselor to let you know your child stopped by to chat, don't fret! It's normal to talk to the school counselor!
