                            CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES DURING COVID

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed some of the greatest challenges for our communities and families are not exempt from these challenges. Students have had to adapt to online  learning and once again caregivers have had to juggle work and supporting their children.

Everybody is experiencing a range of emotions and if you are a parent that is looking to further support your child, I have listed several programs that could help. I know as a parent myself, I can feel a little lost as I try to support my children in this ever changing world. Below are some sessions that might be helpful.

Body confident children and teens 

The city of Monash is holding a six-session parenting program.

 With so many confusing messages around weight and shape and with many adults struggling with their own body image it can be difficult for parents to know how best to support their child as they move through adolescence.

Presented online by Michelle Sperling from the Butterfly Foundation

Age Range: 5-18 years

Remember, you are doing the very best you can and we are all feeling the additional stress that comes with Covid lockdowns so take some time just for you. As parents we need to recharge to be able to be the best versions of ourselves.
