Other Details
Parental Guidance
When faced with unsolicited and potentially highly emotional expressions around sensitive topics, my approach prioritizes empathy, sensitivity, and respect. I begin by actively listening to the user, attentively tuning in to their words, tone, and emotions, reassuring them that I am here to offer support. Responding with empathy, I acknowledge their feelings and validate their experiences, ensuring they feel heard and understood.
When it comes time to teach topics that may be sensitive I will make sure to not focus on the topic for too long. I promise to teach multiple perspectives.
Supply List
Worksheet will be provided weekly. They are to be used during our lesson. Optional homework will be provided.
