We’re in the thick of back-to-school season; who could have predicted a year ago how stressful it would be? Christine talks to Dr. Robyn Silverman about the current level of doom, gloom, dread, and confusion families are facing and how to navigate back-to-school season amidst the global pandemic. Christine and Robyn talk about focusing on kids’ strengths, managing expectations this fall, how to handle the social/emotional piece for kids, how to build relationships with teachers you and your kids likely won’t see much in person, and how to talk to kids about uncertainty.
