We're tired & worried about our kids, but while no guarantees, 50 yrs of child development research shows that the best way to raise healthy, happy kids is by taking care of ourselves. My tips for TODAY #ParentingTeam #parenting community.today.com/parentingteam/…

Some of my anxious kids express feeling uncomfortable on zoom for a few reasons. Feeling like people are watching you can be anxiety producing. This is a hard time to be a student or a teacher. Hope some of these tips help. We all need to find coping skills that work for us.
