What challenges are parents facing as schools close and kids return home during coronavirus?
Hey everyone, it's Debbie Rieber from the Tilt Parenting Podcast. So it's Monday, March sixteenth, and I'm jumping in with this special episode that I wanted to get out right away. Tomorrow, Tuesday, I'll be releasing my regular episode. It's actually the two hundredth episode of this show and that is going to be about body image issues and disordered eating in atypical kids. But I participated in an important webinar last night all about parenting in the age of coronavirus, and I wanted to share this with you. The webinar got put out pretty quickly. Uh yesterday afternoon I was on a call with Julie Lithcott Haymes, she's the author of How to Raise an Adult, and Katherine Reynolds Lewis, the author of The Good News About Bad Behavior.
And Julie brought up the idea of pulling together some brilliant experts and doing a live webinar to help families struggling with their tweens, their teens, or their college students who feel as if social distancing, the new buzzword for right now, that that equals social doom. So literally five hours after that call, we were live doing a webinar with Dr. Karen Natters. She's a pediatrician and the author of many books, including The Care and Keeping of You series by American Girl. Psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb, she's the author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, many of you know her as the co author of a lot of books that we hold near and dear in this community, like The Whole Brain Child, The Yes Brain, and The Power of Showing Up, which she co wrote with doctor Dan Siegel.
So Julie, Katherine, Cara, Lori, and Tina shared a lot of very current, very relevant insights about how we can and should keep our families safe, how to actually do social distancing with kids, especially older teens who may feel invincible and so much more. It was a very candid, real conversation and I got so much out of it. So what you're about to hear is the audio file from that webinar. The quality of this is not as clean as a typical podcast episode because everyone was doing this call from their respective homes. But the content is critical.
So
We may do this again in the next week or two depending on what's happening in the world. So I will keep you posted. Stay tuned on that. For now, I hope you find this useful and that it helps you feel like you're less alone in going through what you're going through.
Okay, folks, we're here. Sorry, thank you for bearing with us as we got our act together. This is um parenting in the time of coronavirus. I'm Julie Lifcott Haymes and I'm a mom in Palo Alto, California and Silicon Valley. And um Yesterday my eightin year old And I and my husband had a really difficult conversation about who she could and could not see. She's a bewildered kid home from college, wants to see the friends that are trickling back home. And my husband and I were struggling with what's the right response here. How to be a good parent, how to pay attention to what's happening in terms of the public health requirements, um wanting to soothe our child's frustrations, but also wanting to be the parents that towed their line.
Um, I was on a conversation with a dear friend who said to me, Julie, let me tell you the science. The science says your kids shouldn't be leaving the house. And I was like, Okay. And he made it sound so easy. He has four kids. I only have one who's home. And then you know what? His three older kids came home later that night and he was he texted me. He's like, Oh my God, it's so much harder than I thought. And I was like, Yes, it is. And what was happening in my personal life made me want to reach out on social media. To those of you who are also struggling as a parent in the era of coronavirus with How do we practice social distancing? Whether we've got little ones, whether we've got tweens, teens, or college students who are coming back home, we need guidance.
I need guidance. I may be the author of a parenting book, but right now I'm a parent who's struggling and we're all struggling, let's face it. Um, so I reached out to people I admire to try to put together this webinar.
