Four Steps You Can Take to Help Food-Insecure Families

Parent Category: Newsflashes
Category: Newsflash

While we’re all aware of the job losses triggered by the coronavirus pandemic, a less publicized aspect of the crisis is the skyrocketing level of food insecurity across the country. According to Feeding America, the number of people without adequate access to nutritious food is likely to grow by 17 million in 2020, including nearly seven million children. Bringing that number down starts in our local communities—so we’ve compiled a few actions you can take today to help combat food insecurity in Brooklyn, NYC, and beyond.

Improving Parent Coping and Self-Care with Small Brooklyn Psychology

  • Print
  • Email
Details
Parent Category: Support
Category: Mental Health

As parents, we put so much of ourselves into our kids.

 

Sometimes—especially this year—this can leave us feeling depleted and brittle. In turn, this keeps us from being the parents we aspire to be. How can we break this cycle?

 

Small Brooklyn Psychology hosted a webinar with therapist Sam Jeannite, PsyD, who addressed these concerns with evidence-based strategies for coping with stress, managing frustration, and making time for our own self-care.

 

Park Slope Parents was a proud media sponsor for this event.

Rethinking Parenting: Video

  • Print
  • Email
Details
Parent Category: Parenting Advice
Category: General Parenting Advice

PSP held a forum on April 8, 2021, with Nancy McDermott, Michaeleen Doucleff, and Lenore Skenazy, who shared their insights on how today’s watchful culture of raising children has arguably created more stress for parents as we strive to meet ever more complex and contradictory standards for optimal parenting.

 

This is an event that will help us understand how we came to be such worried parents (spoiler: it’s not your fault!). An event where you'll discover the reasons to sit back more and control less (spoiler: there’s more time for you!). An event where you’ll see your kids in a different light  (spoiler: you don’t have to take it personally) and build more togetherness and autonomy.

 

View the full recording below—and if you’re a parent in Brooklyn who’s not yet a member of PSP, sign up and join the movement today!
