Children thrive on connection and consistency in uncertain times.  The talented and lovable Mo Willems provides just that in a wonderful daily youtube.  Every day at 1:00pm he will “meet” your children on line and will draw with them.  A great way to provide an artistic activity for your children in a predictable way!

We will be using this blog to share our own thoughts and to forward effective guidance from parents during the quarantine.   The Child Mind Institute has pretty much covered it all.  Check out this guide: https://childmind.org/coping-during-covid-19-resources-for-parents/

And, if you’ve tried all of the evidence-based methods suggested and still find yourself overwhelmed, here is something else to try:

We hope this finds your family healthy and well in this extreme time.

Our current global situation and response to the Coronavirus outbreak has caused all of us to shift almost every aspect of our daily lives.  Feelings School has changed as well.  We have transitioned entirely–for the time being–to a a virtual platform.  All of the Feelings School clinicians will be available for child therapy and parental guidance sessions via phone or video.  If you would like to hear more about how Virtual Feelings School works, please contact Rachel or Lissa at feelingsschool@gmail.com.

While we’ve had this blog as a component of Feelings School’s web page for years, we have yet to post much!!  That’s about to change. 🙂 Throughout the coming days, we will be using this blog to post articles/activities/links/ideas for parents to help with all aspects of parenting.  Our first link is to an article that we feel provides a good guide for parents during the Coronavirus outbreak:
