How School Closures Can Strengthen Your FamilyHere are three ways to cope if your kid's school closes.

Conscious Parenting

Dr. Shefali's "The Conscious Parent" and "The Awakened Family" really resonate with me. Her idea is that our children are here not for us to mold and shape, but instead to raise us into the parents they need us to be. Check out her website and a few of my favorite articles below:

Raising Compassion: The Most Important Thing Parents Can Do - Dr. ShefaliAll of us want our children to grow up to be compassionate. We want them to contribute positively to the well-being of others, so that they leave the world a better place than they found it.

Love = Good Parenting? It’s Time to Rethink the Equation - Dr. ShefaliSo ultimately, our ability to love another, comes from our ability to be conscious of how we need to unconditionally love ourselves first.

Their Souls Sing to a Different Beat - Dr. ShefaliAs adults we are preoccupied with constant activity. We either like to engage in physical doing or mental doing; either way, we harbor the belief that our every second needs to be filled with some activity or the other. In fact, the very basis of our self-esteem rests on the amount we do, how much we earn, how good we look, and how socially connected we are. Our children are born with none of these worldly concerns.
