This page is a resource page geared for parents and families during this difficult time. I will continue adding more as I see fit. Please scroll down to see what resources may best benefit you.
All of you have readjusted your schedules, your daily routines, your expectations, your plans and are now your child’s parent, teacher, coach, playmate and so much more rolled into one being and all under one roof. Whew! You are trying your very best, so please be gentle with yourself.
There are SO many resources out there that may help, but hopefully these can shed a different perspective, provide new coping strategies, or at the very least, provide a a good chuckle
