From the Deputy Head of Junior School – Wellbeing
This month URStrong’s theme is Respect. This is timely because it is also the School Value in focus in the Junior School.
In our URStrong Friendology friendship skills curriculum, we teach students that respect is when:
‘Your friend accepts who you are – your thoughts, feelings, and opinions – even if they are different.’
When it comes to friendships, nothing sparks a bigger Friendship Fire® than disrespect.
Are you encouraging your daughters to be respectful in their friendships? Do you know how to do this? What to say? URStrong encourages parents to be a Friendship Coach! I love this analogy. Read the blog below to understand more about how you can coach your daughters in their friendships.
