How Parents Can Spend Their Summer Vacation: Supporting Their Child's Counseling Goal

    Ahhh, thirteen and a half days until summer vacation.  Not that I'm counting or anything!  

This week I was composing e-mails to a couple of parents who'd asked me for some suggestions about how to work with their kids over the summer, and it occurred to me that a letter to all my kiddos' parents with some pointers might be a really useful thing to send home. 

Now I must note here that I've been working as a school counselor since 1999, and this is the first time that this admittedly brilliant idea has ever occurred to me.  I may be old, but I'm also slow on the uptake. 

Anyway, I wrote the letter, which is general enough to send home with all the students on my caseload yet I hope still helpful.  Here's the link to a PDF of the letter.  As always, help yourself!
