Here are four tips that I've recently been focusing on with my clients.

1.) Identify Your Triggers.

This 25-minute talk addresses several topics related to Parenting During a Pandemic, and most of these extend outside of the current situation as well. 

Whether you're in a single-parenting, double-parenting or co-parenting situation, these resources and information may be relevant and helpful for you.

Hello,

I've been working with so many clients who are struggling with the new challenges, (amidst the COVID-19 situation) around keeping their children safe, healthy and happy...

In my groups this week, we're talking about how our mental capacity is at half-mast, with people having a hard time remembering what they’re supposed to do -- let alone which day it is.

So... to help to manage that, you may want to have some way of labeling where you are, right now, emotionally (and, perhaps, where you'd like to be). Take a look.

I hope you’re all finding sanity and strength during this challenging time. I wanted to share with you some of the new challenges I’m seeing my clients (who are in a co-parenting arrangement) facing currently. For those of you who are struggling with similar (or other) challenges related to co-parenting in the escalated situation, I hope this will help you to find your way through this new territory.

If you are in a co-parenting arrangement and you find yourself worrying about your kids whenever they’re not with you (e.g., have they washed their hands enough, have they gone into public places, is the other parent taking all the precautions you think they should?) -- I want you to set your mind at ease. Think about the united parenting approach and how you can set-up this situation so that you won’t be worrying all the time.

Here's something to consider about...

Are you wondering what to do to keep yourself stable? Do a lot of people count on you, but you find it hard for you to be even present for yourself? Is your survival mode triggered and you’re not quite sure what the future will hold for you? This talk will help you get a few tips to work through these situations. Give it a try -- it can only help during this time.
