PARENTING IDEAS
Building resilience during the COVID pandemic
The pandemic continues to bring worry and anxiety to children and young people. Resilience can help kids get through these
diicult times, but it is not something they are born with. Resilience is built up over time as kids interact with the environment
and each other. Emerging relatively unscathed from a setback or hardship can boost future resilience. On the other hand, if
experiences are too overwhelming or stressful, kids can be traumatised, making it diicult to respond with future hardships with
resilience.
Upcoming Webinar for Parents
Dr Kristy Goodwin presents: Taming digital distractions
The webinar will be held on 8 September 2021 at 8-9 PM AEST.
Dr Kristy Goodwin is a digital wellbeing and peak-performance speaker, author and researcher (and mum who also deals with her kids’ techno-tantrums!) She’s the author of Raising Your Child in a Digital World, and a media commentator who doesn’t suggest that we ban the iPhone, or unplug the gaming console (digital abstinence isn’t the solution). Kristy worked as an educator for fourteen years before becoming an academic and speaker who’s on a mission to help children, teens and
adults tame their technology habits so they’re not a slave to the screen.
This school has a membership with Parenting Ideas, one of Australia’s most trusted sources of parenting education and support. As part of this membership, all the parents in this school
community can attend this webinar at no cost.
