On March 1st middle school parents gathered in the MS Library to hear Rosalind Wiseman, noted author and bullying prevention expert, talk about bullying and our kids’ peer-to-peer relationships. Some key points she made were the difference between treating people with dignity vs respect, and what motivates young people to make healthy and considerate choices (hint: feeling proud and avoidance of being ‘called out’ negatively are big). The Q&A was robust, and we all left wanting more.

Thank you, Dr. Weissbourd, for an informative discussion last night about how to support our kids developing healthy, intimate relationships. Along with important information and research into the world of romantic relationships for our teenagers and the myths that often surround them, the discussion included a Q&A session addressing several questions from Pelham parents. The full recording of the event is now available.

Connecting with others is a tried and true way of getting support during rough patches; we need this more than ever right now. Pelham Together is hosting three Parents Talk groups this fall on different topics related to the different relationships in our lives.

Although I’ve been married for 25 years and been a mom for 23, it’s still hard for me to imagine how parents of school-aged children are managing these days. My husband and I benefited from several rounds of marriage therapy over the years, and I’d highly recommend it for couples who are feeling the strain of parenting together through the pandemic.

Even before a relationship reaches its crisis point, seeking professional guidance in the form of online couples counseling can help.

Covid-19 is, to put it mildly, wreaking havoc on our mental health, and on our relationships. The brutal combination of uncertainty, isolation, forced togetherness, financial stress, lack of childcare help and limitation on our activities can feel overwhelming.
