Lindeneau Elementary School Guidance Office
Kristin Bobko
Head Counselor
Growing up in today's world can be a challenge. All children face typical worries - such as making
friends and coping with peer pressure. Some students are forced to deal with divorce, death, poverty,
violence, sexual abuse, and bullying. At Lindeneau I help children cope effectively with both developmental
issues and crises. Elementary school years set the tone for developing the skills, knowledge, and
attitudes necessary for our children to become healthy, productive life-long learners.

- Feel good about themselves
- Experience success in school
- Communicate effectively
- Develop positive relationships
- Increase acceptance of diversity
- Cope with stress, life changes, and crises
