Some children are born with an inner drive to keep trying over and over when they fail. Most children aren’t, though, and it is up to us to help them see that failing is actually the key to succeeding. 

Teaching our children the word YET is key. They may come to you and say, “I don’t know how to read” or “I can’t ride a two-wheeler” or “I can’t get good grades.” We need to teach them to add the word “yet” to the end of those sentences so they start to realize that these things take time and with the right mindset, they will happen! 

Sit down with your child and list out things that they now do, that at one time they thought were hard. Have them tell you that with practice they learned to do hard things. They are able to do hard things! Using this type of thinking and dialogue around our children will teach them that by trying, failing and learning from their mistakes, they will succeed at doing hard things. 

Kids love to be close and share everything, even germs. Here are some quick tips to help students reduce the spread of germs at school. 

1. Wash your Hands– Wash hands in warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds. Sing the alphabet song once to help with timing.
2. Don’t Share– Send extra supplies so students can use their own items rather than community items. 
3. Cover Sneezes and Coughs– Sneeze into the crook of the elbow or into a tissue, not into hands. If a student accidentally sneezes into their hands, remind them to wash their hands right away.
4. Hands off Your Face– Teach students to keep hands away from their face, out of their nose and out of their mouths. If they accidentally touch these things, remind them to wash their hands right away. 
5. Skip the Water Fountain– Send a water bottle with students each day so they can avoid the water fountain. If they need to use the water fountain, teach students how to drink without touching their mouth to the spigot.
6. Eat Fruits and Veggies– A healthy diet can help boost the immune system.
7. Get Enough Sleep- Sleep helps build the immune system. Follow these guidelines: 
   • Ages 10-17: 8.5 to 9.5 hours per night
   • Ages 5-10: 10 to 11 hours per night
   • Ages 3-5: 11 to 13 hours per night
8. Stay Home From School when Sick– If a student is sick, they need to stay home until they are well again to avoid spreading illness to others.
