Details: Parent Category: Advice - Childcare and Education; Category: Education Advice

Park Slope Parents hosted a Coping Webinar with Dr. Nanika Coor on managing the transition to school (whatever that looks like) for our kids. Here are some notes and resources that came out of her webinar.

Dr. Coor started with a reminder to hold space for ourselves and for what we have been through over the past five months; it’s a lot. There’s more to come, but being mindful of what we’ve endured and how we’ve been successful so far (even if it doesn’t always feel like it) can help us rebuild some of our depleted energy resources. So let’s talk about some of those things.
