8/11/2020

 
Child in school

​Now that Governor Cuomo has given the green light for in-person school, many of us are thinking about how we can prepare ourselves and our children for back-to-school. Whether it will be in-person at school, virtual, or at-home teaching, we all have a lot of questions. 

These upcoming free webinars can help prepare you and your children for the upcoming school year and the uncertainty ahead in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. They feature experts in parenting, education and psychology to help you navigate through the back-to-school season.
1. NAMI (National Alliances of Mental Illness) Westchester is offering "Your Child's Mental Health and School Reopening."

The virtual presentation will focus on how to prepare you and your child for returning to school in the “new normal.” Speakers include local experts including Andrew Ecker, Ed.D., Coordinator, Guidance & Child Study Center, Putnam | Northern Westchester BOCES, Marion Walsh, Esq., Special Education Dept. for Littman Krooks and Marie Considine, MPA, Director of Development for NAMI Westchester and parent of school-age children.

2. HUFFPOST is hosting "Navigating Kids' Back-To-School Anxiety"

In this virtual forum, Kate Auletta, HuffPost’s senior culture and parenting editor, and Rebecca Kennedy, a New York-based psychologist and mom of three will talk about what to expect, what to say and how to deal with all the ways heading back to school will be hard on children. They will discuss the emotional and mental health aspects of kids’ return to school ― whatever that might look like. The ways in which parents prepare their children for uncertainty and talk about what’s happening are paramount to how children will remember this unique time.

​Date: Wednesday, August 19, 8pm-9pm
​Registration: Secure your ticket now, free for members, $10 for non members

If you haven’t yet tried Positive Parenting (or aren’t even sure what it is), a time of heightened chaos and uncertainty is the perfect time to start. You’re already reinventing schoolwork, working from home, and creating a new temporary lifestyle. You don’t exactly have a lot of time, yet you have more time at home than ever to implement something new. Parenting, even in the best of circumstances, is hard. So, if you’re questioning your sanity right about now, a few Positive Parenting strategies will help you and your family survive–and maximize–the upcoming school year. Are you interested in learning how you can use Positive Parenting during a pandemic (and why you should)?
