The St. Joseph's Family of Schools invites you to attend a presentation by Dr. Alex Russell on Wednesday, May 18th from 7-9pm in the St. Joseph's cafeteria. We are also hoping to livestream his presentation. The focus of his talk will be:
Keeping them Safe while Helping them Grow:
Supporting children’s emotional growth in challenging times.
Over the two past two years, the shutting down of children’s activities has had significant impacts on their academic, social and emotional development, as well as placing incredible strains on parents and educators. As we begin to return to normal, this workshop offers parents an understanding of these academic, social and emotional impacts, as well as clear and helpful guidelines to help support children in the months and years ahead. Parents gain a perspective that helps them slowly shift the burden of responsibility on to their children as they grow – something that helps children take on anxiety adaptively, at the same time as they experience the sense of mastery and competence such growth generates.
