Back-to-school season often means new routines, changing schedules, and increased stress for the whole family.
Checking in regularly—not just about homework, but about emotions—helps children feel safe, heard, and supported.

Rather than asking:
"How was school?"

Try questions like:

“What made you smile today?”

“What challenged you today?”

“Who did you spend time with?”

“How are you feeling about school this week?”



Creating a supportive home environment doesn't have to be complicated. Small, consistent habits can help young people feel heard, connected, and prepared to navigate the school year. Consider incorporating some of these into your family's routine:

Schedule a weekly family check-in to talk about highs, lows, and feelings.

Create consistent morning and bedtime routines to provide structure and reduce stress.

Keep school and community mental health resources in a visible place for easy access.

Read your school's monthly mental health newsletter together and use it as a conversation starter about emotional well-being.

USE YOUR GIFTS FOR HIS GLORY

“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV

God gave you your talents for a purpose. Keep practicing. Keep learning. Keep improving. Don’t work only for applause, recognition, or success—let your dedication become an offering to God. Use every gift He has placed within you to honor Him and encourage others.

Prayer:
Lord, help me use the talents You have given me to honor and glorify You. Give me the discipline to keep working, growing, and improving each day. May I never take my gifts for granted. Let my hard work, humility, and dedication be my gift back to You. In everything I do, may others see You through me. Amen.

Resilient Rooster Mental Health Tip:
Growth takes time. Don’t compare your progress to someone else’s—focus on becoming a little stronger, wiser, and more confident each day.

FAITH. FOCUS. FINISH.
Built Different. Made for More

The Candler County Literacy Council would like to introduce our new parents to our Tiny Tiger Cub Club Program--a program designed to help families access literacy resources that support babies in building a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

The Tiny Tiger Cub Club recognizes students with new siblings as important literacy and learning role models.
Participating Tiny Tiger Cub Club families will receive a certificate honoring the student, along with simple ideas for how they can support early reading at home.

Families will also receive information about our Birth to 3 programs, as well as books and other resources to encourage early language development and growth.
If you have a student at one of our schools and they have a new baby brother or new baby sister, please ask them to tell their teacher so the teacher can notify our Tiny Tiger Cub Club coordinator.
