Pandemic Parenting

Free Zoom w/recorded option

Join our panel of child psychologists for a one hour webinar to address how to prepare your child (and yourself!) for another round of remote learning this fall. The uncertainty and novelty of this transition can feel overwhelming. So, how can you set your child up for success this fall?  We will discuss concrete ways to manage the challenges of remote learning in your household. We hope you will end the webinar feeling confident in how to:

• Manage your child’s emotions or behaviors that may arise from extended time at home

• Manage your own stress and parental expectations

• Maintain effective communication with your child’s school and teacher

• Provide support for students in special education

• Maintain social support (and sanity) for your child and family
