Counsellor's Corner


Dear ISA Families,

Our school holiday will be here soon and many of us are preparing for routines that involve significant changes from our familiar activities during this time. As you think ahead to the winter, what family habits or traditions have you adjusted due to the pandemic? 

Many of us are planning new traditions towards connecting with each other during a time that previously might have involved ‘looking ahead’ to travel or extended family. This year, you might be developing adapted habits towards ‘staying in the moment’- which in turn creates important memories for your children during their developmental years.  

You might enjoy this article on ideas for creating new family traditions during the holidays:  Resilience Is Family: 40 Ideas for New Family Traditions

Best wishes for a safe and ‘creative’ winter ahead.

Warm Regards,

Valerie DeGraw

Guidance Counsellor
