Summer is almost over and you know what that means...

It's time to get ready to go back to school!

With so much excitement it's easy to forget that there's a lot of anxiety and pressure about getting back into that school rhythm. Re-establishing sleep rhythms, shopping, and prepping lunch are all things that may have been replaced with the flexibility of those glorious summer days.

Not to mention the mental health crisis we are in as a result of the last few years. How are we talking about COVID as we prepare to get back into the classroom? How are we validating the feelings of a child who might be scared? What's our role as parents in setting up our child for success?

Liz Buffington joins the program to talk about all of this and more. Liz is a Lecturer, 21st Century Blended Learning Cohort Lead, Cultural Proficiency Minor Coordinator, & University Supervisor at San Diego State University who is currently working on her PHD.
