Being Well at Magill
Hello Magill Families,
We’re pleased to continue sharing some helpful resources from URSTRONG about the Language of Friendship. These tools are designed to help children build strong, healthy friendships.
In the next few newsletters, we’ll include videos and tips that you can watch together with your child. This week, we’re starting with the Introduction and Session 1. Taking a few minutes to explore these together can make a big difference in helping your child understand how to be a great friend.
We hope you find them useful!
Language of Friendship: Introduction
Get ready to learn a whole new language of friendship. Let’s begin with an overview of our friendship strategy & core concepts!
Objective

These important social skills are the key to creating safe schools and raising KIND + STRONG children.

Session 1: Connecting with the Real You
Is your child feeling low? Let’s help them walk a little taller and be the best version of who they are!
Key Outcome
Your child will learn to tap into their strengths and focus on developing their character.
Objective
This session is designed to help all children connect with their sense of self and is especially valuable for children who are struggling with their self-confidence. In order to create healthy friendships, we need children to first look inward and shine a light on their strengths. They will learn that character is what matters most and they have the power to be the best version of themselves.
Best wishes,
