The worst of COVID is over, but the effects on our kids are lingering.
While we all hope the worst of COVID is behind us, many families are left feeling overwhelmed trying to figure out how to get started with the social and emotional “clean up” that the past two years have left behind.
Accord School Director and Social Educator Katy Boucher has a brand new, 90-minute, lighthearted presentation for parents and families that is loaded with practical guidance for caregivers of K-12 students. The talk, Putting Kids Back Together: Rethinking our Kids’ Social World After COVID, explores South Shore students’ experiences, gives adults language and catchy characters to understand their kids’ stuck points, and includes a “cheat sheet” full of actionable advice that feels doable… not overwhelming.
