SMC conducts earthquake drill

SMC students, teachers, officials, and staff will participate in the Earthquake Drill on September 10, 2019 aimed at preparing

for a major earthquake. At around 9:30 am, Preschool, Grade School, High School and College students will practice their

Drop, Cover and Hold On earthquake drill.

Sixty seconds later, when the alarm bell stops, all the students will move out from their classrooms covering their heads, and

will gather at the 2 vacant lots where respective class advisers will check if all were safely evacuated.

The earthquake drill will be conducted to teach SMC students, teachers and staff how to respond to the complications of an

actual earthquake, and to evaluate how well all parts of SMC’s emergency plan work together. Prior to the drill, the teachers will

discuss and demonstrate the procedures with the students.

Letting Your Kids Fight Their Own Battles Say your child was called a nasty name on the playground or didn’t get invited to a classmate’s birthday party. Say they feel jealous because another child is smart and well-liked. Or they desperately desire something another child has. Or their close friend is moving away, and they’re fretting about their friendship. Would you intervene by talking to their parents?

Instead of intervening in your child’s social dilemmas, Joyce Marter, a psychologist offered the following suggestions:

1. Empathize with your child and offer emotional support. Show your child that you understand how they’re feeling, Marter, said. For instance, you might say, “I can see that you are feeling very sad and frustrated.”

2. Help your child learn how to process emotions. For instance, guide them in using deep breathing to soothe their brain and body, Marter said. This involves breathing in through your nose, down to the stomach and then out through the mouth, she said.

3. Teach your child to effectively resolve conflict. Explain to them how assertive communication works. For instance, have them use “I” statements rather than “you” statements. According to Marter, instead of saying “You left me out,” they can say “I am upset because I wasn’t included in the game.” Teach them to empathize with other kids.

4. Be a good role model. “Modeling…healthy emotional expression, coping skills and conflict resolution is the best way to help your kids develop these life tools,” Marter said. In other words, “Monkey see, monkey do,” she said.

“There is a healthy balance between being a neglectful or absent parent and being an intrusive, helicopter parent. We need to give our children roots — education, values, support — and wings — let them become their own people,” Marter said.
