đź’ˇThis month's SEL tip comes from Red Oak's Manager of Prevention and SEL Services, Joli Oliver, OCPS.

Build Self-Awareness
Kick off the year by reflecting on who you are and what matters most.

Identify Your Core Values

Write down your top 3 values (like kindness, honesty, creativity, or courage).
Ask yourself:
- How do these values guide my choices?
- Am I living in a way that reflects what matters to me?

Bonus: Build Emotional Awareness

Try a daily Feelings Check-In—pause each morning to name how you’re feeling (using words like calm, anxious, excited, or frustrated).

These simple practices helps build emotional vocabulary, self-awareness, and stronger decision-making.

While we are ready to help students facing major challenges, Red Oak is passionate about reaching them before this point. Our evidence-based Prevention Services range from Social Emotional Learning classes for elementary students in partnership with the YMCA, to developing healthy coping strategies with middle schoolers, to anti-vaping work in high schools.

While we know that this upstream approach is effective and evidence-based, insurance companies do not pay for these types of services, and that is why your support is vital.

đź’ˇDecember's Parenting Tip from Kelli Law, OCPSAđź’ˇ

Holiday Edition!

The holidays are here, so let’s explore some quick ideas on how to make them less stressful and more joyful.
1. Keep the family informed of events and outings that will happen. Tell them where you’re going, how long it will take, what you as the parent or guardian expect and what they can look forward to. These actions can calm anxiety and help avoid meltdowns.
2. Schedules can change during holidays but try to keep some part of your routines consistent. Maintaining a normal bedtime and meals at similar times can help keep moods steady.
3. Finally, work to keep your emotions and stress in control. Children can sense and mirror your energy, so it's important to take care of yourself. Remember that you can say no to events and delegate responsibilities without guilt.

I know you've got this, and it doesn't have to be perfect! Happy holidays!
