Parenting During the Pandemic - Podcast Episode
SUMMARY:
Listen to a conversation with Dr. Viktoriya Magid, licensed clinical psychologist, child development expert, private practice owner, and Managing Director of Birch Cove’s Self Actualization Programs, as she talks with Sarah Parkins about the challenges of parenting through this pandemic.
For many parents there is an added layer of complexity that has come with the lockdown - full-time working, full-time schooling, and full-time parenting. Sarah and Viktoriya discuss the pressures parents place on themselves, how guilt and expectations impact us, and how this time presents an opportunity to learn how to navigate the variety of emotions that parents and children feel and experience, while also learning to let go, unlearn Super-Mom or Super-Dad tendencies, and use the time to reconnect with our children.
The resources and books recommended by Viktoriya:
Positive Parenting Philosophy by Janet Lansbury
Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids by Dr. Laura Markham
Happy Parent, Happy Siblings by Dr. Laura Markham
No Bad Kids by Janet Lansbury
The Whole-Brain Child by Daniel J. Siegel
