Dear Parents,
Thunder and lightening?! It must be Back to School week!
As schools reopen - whether in-person, remotely, or a hybrid - The Parent Education Series will continue to provide parent and community education virtually through 2020.
Just a few spots remain for Ana Homayoun's webinar, Setting Students Up for Success in a School Year of Uncertainty (Online, August 18). Details below!
The Parent Forum returns this Fall, with new series in English and Spanish. You can view last week's Parent Forum (Spanish) here, or register for the Parent Forum #3 (English) with Dr. Eran Magen (Online, September 25).
On October 29, we're proud to host Alice Kleeman, retired M-A Collage Advisor, and Dr. Angel B. PĂ©rez, new CEO of NACAC, in The Future of College Admission: More Questions, A Range of Answers? (Online, October 29).
With over 9,000 views, our Video Library (YouTube and Vimeo) has become a trusted resource for parents. Recent videos feature presentations on Better Digital Parenting; Talking to Your Kids About Race; and Diversity & Bias in Schools.
And for the latest in parenting news, research, and events, follow us on Instagram and Facebook, with new posts daily!
TPV will provide more high-quality parent education, while extending the reach of The Parent Education Series to a broader range of families and communities.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy return to school!

How to give kids a sense of routine and stability in a school year that is anything but normal |
The uncertainty of what school will look like and how long all of this will go on, along with the fear of the virus, are stressful for parents and kids alike. Research suggests that stress and trauma can affect executive function, which includes skills in organization, critical thinking and problem-solving, planning, decision-making and executing tasks. (Ana Homayoun)

Are You Overpraising Your Child?
All those “Good jobs!” might be undermining kids’ independence and self-confidence.
|
It’s helpful to praise what your child has control over, such as the choices they made along the way of solving a problem or drawing a picture. This helps keep expectations realistic, and encourages them to continue doing the activity.
