At our professional development meeting held on Thursday January 28, Dr. Beth Lusby, licensed psychologist, addressed the concerns of SWE parents regarding childhood education during covid. Dr. Lusby addressed topics like how to keep a child engaged while they sit in front of a computer all day doing classes. She described how and why a certain method may work for one child one age and but not another. She described the mental processes that go on at different ages and how to address changes so that as life happens children can learn to embrace it and adapt. Lastly, she gave some tips on how to talk to children about the pandemic and ways that parents can begin preparing for possible scenarios as life goes back to normal and children return to in person classes.
This session was recorded and will be available to members upon request, (email Dallas.swe.pd@gmail.com), for a limited time.
