About the store
Hello everyone!! My name is Caren and I have a passion for helping children, which is why I became a School Counselor! I have been a counselor for the past 11 years and have counseled at the elementary, middle and high school levels and am currently a middle school counselor.
Before becoming a School Counselor, I worked as a high school biology, chemistry and environmental science teacher for 7 years, which I also loved! I just knew that my calling was to continue my education and help with my students lives, including outside of their academics, which was why I felt counseling would be perfect... and it truly is!
I am now a mommy of 2 sweet boys, and realized being a mom is my definite first true calling in this world. They are my absolute everything and I couldn't imagine life without them!

Cognitive Behavior Worksheet Pack (CBT)
These Cognitive Behavior tools can be used for 1st grade through upper elementary students. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that how we think and act affect how we feel. The great thing about CBT is that because we can change the way we think and act, we can learn to control our feelings!

Break Cards!!
As a counselor and former teacher, I know how difficult it is for many students to verbalize how they are feeling in the "heat of the moment". This packet of 16 break cards is a wonderful way for students to express that they need a break for a minute to calm down without disrupting your classroom environment! Each one has a different calm down strategy for students to look at themselves and present to you. I suggest laminating these cards and putting them on a key ring for students. I would con

Growth Mindset Posters: Blue & Green Color Pack
Teaching about having a growth mindset is important because it is a life-long skill that can be used in ALL areas of life.
When students believe that their talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies and never giving up (having a growth mindset), they tend to achieve more than those with a fixed mindset. This is because they worry less about “looking smart” and put more energy into LEARNING.
Print these posters out on paper or cardstock and hang them up around your classroom/o
