Q: My child wants to visit the school counselor or psychologist, should I be worried?

A: No! Counseling is for all students. Many times students ask to see us over serious issues, but often  common everyday problems (e.g. friendship conflicts, death of a pet, changes at home) are discussed.  Some students seem to enjoy the attention from another adult too.

Q: Will my child be embarrassed to leave the room with the counselor or psychologist?

A: No! Elementary students generally enjoy a visit with one of us. If a child is sensitive to leaving the room, arrangements may be made with the child's teacher.
