Giving kids a chance to recover

I've been a fan of Dr. Lisa Damour for years - her books Under Pressure and Untangled have been so helpful in working with my students and understanding my own teenage daughter. She recently wrote an article for the NY Times about how the pandemic has put kids through so much - including fallout we haven't seen yet - and that they need time this summer to reconnect and recover before starting back to school in the fall. I hope we can all take her advice, both for our kids and for ourselves, and make this summer a time of renewal and healing. Read her article here:
