“When you know better, you do better”-- Maya Angelou Parenting can naturally be stressful and frustrating in the best of times, but when you add a global pandemic, a presidential election year and an increase in racial tensions, it is understandable that parents can be under a lot of additional stress.
The following article published in the September 2020 issue of KC Parent by Christa Meinyk Hines will introduce you to Mindful Parenting and share 8 Things Mindful Parents do Differently. Mindful Parenting can prepare you for a better way of responding to your children that will help to preserve the special parent-child relationship that you already have. If you participate with Parents As Teachers, you are already doing one of the things mentioned in the article. You are learning about child development each time your parent educator visits with you and your family. To discover the other 7 things mindful parents do, follow this link. The Parent Educators with Grandview Parents as Teachers are excited to welcome you back to a brand new school year! We have a lot of fun things planned this year and can't wait to enjoy them with you and your family. Things might look a little different this year, but we are still here to encourage, educate and partner with you as you raise your children. We are currently offering visits according to your comfort level. If you'd like, some of our parent educators are doing in person visits outdoors. This provides an opportunity to see each other in person, but in a manner that allows for social distancing. If you would prefer a virtual visit, we are still delivering those via ZOOM or by telephone. If you do not have a parent educator, and would like one, please fill out the contact form. You can expect to hear from an educator as soon as possible. If you do have a parent educator and have not heard from her by mid-September, you can find her number on that same contact page. Feel free to give her a call. She'd love to hear from you!
We look forward to partnering with you this year!! We hope that it is OUT OF THIS WORLD! |
