Could you use some fresh ideas for surviving the new demands of parenting during a pandemic?

Is there more whining, crying, fighting or defiance in your home (yours or your child’s)?

The KSPTA is happy to offer a FREE on-line event with Julie King, the acclaimed author of How To Talk So Kids Will Listen. Please join us and Julie King http://julieking.org for a talk about Parenting in A Pandemic.

In this one-hour online presentation, Julie King shares useful guidance and tools for parents who are doing their best to cope with the effects of the pandemic on home life. Her presentation is interactive, and includes topics such as:

• Children under stress: understanding typical behavior, and how to support children with shelter-in-place
• How to engage children's cooperation
• How to reduce the fighting
• Strategies for dealing with all the screen time!
• Time at the end is reserved for Q&A.
