This relevant and engaging workshop will be designed to address transitional and situational stress and how parents and educators can best support their kids during this particularly challenging period. The workshop will include:

• Potential sources of stress for youth during Covid;

• An examination of brain development and what is happening with our children’s brains

when their emotions become overwhelming;

• How to recognize and monitor signs of stress, anxiety, and emotional difficulty during the

transition period(s) throughout the year;

• The “to-dos” and “not-to-dos” of engaging kids in difficult conversations around stress,

anxiety, and transition (as well as other challenging parent-child discussions);

• Specific strategies for managing both parental and youth stress and anxiety during these times.
