Trusted Adults are crucial to the emotional stability, social health, and development of children and adolescents. They are parents, guardians, teachers, faith leaders, grandparents, neighbors, babysitters, coaches, therapists, and more.
Schools are one of the most common environments where young people engage in continuous and evolving interactions with peers, teachers, and the community. These interactions are the bedrock of a social context, which promotes growth and change daily.
As a Trusted Adult, you can help the students in your life create and sustain relationships with peers and other Trusted Adults to ease the transition into the school year. Use these Cornerstone C’s as a checklist for a reminder on what you can do to help.
