You might be dancing in the streets that school is starting, but your kids might not be as joyful. And this year, even if you have made a selection about how your child will learn, we know that things are always changing. We just don’t know how school will look in a few weeks or months.
What can you do when your children struggle with feeling depressed over the inevitable loss of freedom and onslaught of homework and structure that comes with school’s arrival this month?
