Lets talk about some of the more challenging stuff- sexuality, death, religion, and racism. How do we handle this stuff with our children?

In this episode I revisit some of the points I made in my last episode, and go over new data and studies that point us in the right direction. How do you decide which is more beneficial: Sending your kiddo to school to play and learn and be with friends, or keeping them safe from COVID at home? In this episode, and the last, I give you information to empower your decision.

In today's episode we are going to get into some of the issues around sending your child back to school, childcare, or camp. We have to weigh all of the risks with all of the benefits, as much as possible. We have to keep in mind that there are serious risks to children's mental and social/emotional health if they miss out on quality early education, and interaction with other children.

Hey there! Yes I know I missed days 5 & 6. With all going on in the world, I am shifting towards posting an update a couple of times per week rather than every day. You know, this thing is looking like it is going to last a lot longer than any us hoped. Tonight I talk a bit about the psychological impact of that on our well being. Just acknowledging the trauma, and sheer scale of it, can help.
