This event is online.
Two of our most trusted parenting experts join Angie Coiro for a community event on how young people are faring in 2020. From toddlers to grade schoolers and even young adults, this year has deeply disrupted the lives of our kids. Developmentally, what comes of altered social relationships, digital learning, and more? How can we best support youth, and support their parents, caretakers, and teachers?
Join this expert panel and community event to learn resiliency skills, and help to build the solutions that will empower both kids and their adults to thrive in a time of uncertainty. Please submit ideas and questions as you register and share this event with the people you know who care about supporting our youth. Journalist-in-residence Angie Coiro will ask broad questions about factors impacting kids and young adults nationally, and then further tailor her interview to the ideas and solutions that will have the deepest impact in our own community. Your suggestions guide the conversation.
Lately, it can feel impossible to provide clarity and calm for our kids—but with the help of a village, no challenge is too big. Join in on the conversation on October 28th.
