Details: Parent Category: Home Life; Category: Technology & Kids

In a recent webinar sponsored by PS 321, speech-language pathologist and mindfulness teacher Susan Ehlerman Brennan shared her wisdom on using tech to enhance your child’s social world. Park Slope Parents listened in on Brennan’s insights as she made a case for how technology—far from rotting kids’ brains—can actually enhance and expand their interactions and interpersonal connections, both remotely and in person.

Below, we’re sharing some key takeaways from the webinar, as well as some advice from Park Slope Parents HQ on integrating tech in a developmentally appropriate way.

Talking to our kids about the events on Capitol Hill

Details: Parent Category: Newsflashes; Category: Newsflash

While it’s hard to believe what happened on Capitol Hill today, the effects on our psyches are undeniable. Even though Congress has reconvened and is getting back to the work of certifying the election results, this could be a very upsetting time for our families.

Knowing that we may be able to give you some tools to talk to your kids, I called my social worker brother—who has a lot of experience counseling families—and he helped me pull together some ways to help our kids (and ourselves) during difficult times. Below are some tips about helping kids cope with today’s situation.
