From Dr. Worthley, 5/20/20

Hello MPS' Families,
​
Last night, we hosted a webinar "Pandemic Parenting" with Rachel Simmons, well-known author and speaker. Rachel was able to offer tips and strategies on parenting in a way in which most can relate. Many have reached out looking for a recording of the session, and it has come through!  The link to the recording is here:
Rachel Simmons Webinar from 5/19/20

It will ask you for your name and email address to view the recording.
Also of note is an encore session of "Teens, Tweens and Quarantine" with Jon Mattleman, offered to us from Natick 180.  That session is tomorrow, Thursday, May 21st, at 10:00am.  The link for that session is here:

(I have heard that the first session was excellent.)

Lastly, I thought I would bring to your attention some online course offerings offered by William James College. There are some parenting resources to check out, so feel free to browse around.

This information focuses primarily on parenting. So whether you think about your own children or your students, you might find some of this information interesting.

I hope you and your families are healthy and well!

From the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence
Grief is a normal and natural response to the many losses people are experiencing; from the loss of high school graduation, or a carefree springtime, to the tragic loss of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this webinar, we will explore theories of grief, loss and resilience. Participants will have the opportunity to learn strategies for talking about grief with adults and children, and for coping with experiences of grief and loss.
