As a new counselor I need tools to help build rapport with students, create relationships and help build trust! I am requesting resources for our counseling room. Question cards and games are an excellent way to get to know your kiddos. Many of my students struggle with anxiety and need additional support in the classrooms, squishy's are helpful and non-disruptive to students and teachers. Calm down toys, kinetic sand and calm jars are a great way to help students that have impulse triggers to calm down and regulate. Motivational posters are great to have in classrooms and offices to help encourage students throughout the day. Journals are great for students to get out their emotions, to have a space to express themselves by writing, drawing or coloring. I love creating these relationships and encouraging these students that they can achieve great things, thank you so much for your support in helping it happen!
