Keep Calm and PARENT On: Resources for Kids!

Posted on by Jennie Buckley

Dear Friends,

Before I was in private practice, I was a classroom teacher for 13 years. So, when faced with my kids being home for at least 3 weeks…that’s where my brain went back to.

Structure.

Planning.

Activities.

There have been a ton of posts on social media about all the free resources that are available to parents, so I thought it would be a good idea to at least put some of them in one spot. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it’s a start:
