Pandemic Parenting: Tools and Tips, Empowering Parents: Embedding Patience into Discipline

With the pandemic of COVID-19, it has been an unprecedented year for our country and the world, schools and systems, and families and children.  While the prescription for our physical health is “physical distance” our mental health needs connection and closeness to thrive.  Challenges from the pandemic, such as negotiating work schedules, sharing spaces, isolation, and changes in childcare have left parents with more concerns than usual. Accessible and attuned parent education is critical now more than ever. 

No parent really “loves” to discipline their child. We either go too soft or too hard and walk away feeling like we didn’t do it “right”. Pandemic stress and fatigue means we have even less bandwidth to act with patience. We may dread the next playtime or bedtime, knowing we didn’t address the behavior the first time and it’s bound to come up again. How do we strike that balance of firm and kind to walk away feeling confident? Come listen to the common hurdles that trip parents up around discipline, how to approach it differently, and learn the words to use to communicate love while still being in charge.

Programming facilitated by Molly Pope, I/ECMHC, Parent Coach, and Speaker and Trainer.
