"We’re Back: Now What?"
Parenting during the pandemic, conflict in our communities, going back to school, and the uncertainty that has plagued us over the last 18 months have made our jobs as parents even more difficult. Many of us are worried about how to move forward as we once again enter a school year that will likely be influenced by the pandemic. In this session, we will bring it back to the basics of sound, practical parenting. What to attend to, what to let slide, and how to protect our child’s mental health without “snowplowing” away the experiences they need to become strong and resilient.
