SEL Committee Presents
Recognizing and Managing Anxiety
Tuesday, January 28 6:30-8:00PM
FREE + babysitting (please RSVP here)
Come hear Kristin Reale, LCSW, parenting expert and experienced psychotherapist, talk about one of the most challenging and least understood aspects of parenting in this modern age: Anxiety in children.
Alongside learning parenting techniques in empowerment and mentalization, empathy and communication, you’ll learn how to better understand the root causes of anxiety, new ways to think about what anxiety is trying to communicate and how to develop a better parenting approach to best help your child.
A Brooklyn mother of two boys, and in private practice in Manhattan for 15+ years, Kristin treats children, adults and couples. She specializes in attachment and trauma, depression and anxiety. Alongside her private practice, Kristin has taught in the Masters Program at New York University, lecturing on attachment and human development. She has also written and presented numerous professional papers at national psychoanalytic conferences.

THE POETRY JOURNAL NEEDS YOU!
April is Poetry Month at our school, with a focus on reading and writing poetry of all kinds in the classroom. The month culminates in a wonderful night of student readings of their own (and other poets') work. All students also publish a poem in a school-wide anthology, which is beautifully laid out and printed by parent volunteers. Here's how you can help between this February and April. You can pitch in on any or all of these jobs, depending on your schedule:
work with class parents to coordinate and gather poems from teachers, ensuring that we don't miss anyone. This can be done in the evenings at your own pace, as long as deadlines are met.
help in June when the journal needs to go to the printer or is ready for distribution. This is usually more of a sprint to the finish line, a.k.a. the last day of school.
Finally, help to publicize and staff the annual Poetry Night, when the students read their work, on April 29. Please email pta_info@ps154.org if you are able to lend a hand!
