DEVELOPING SUPPORTIVE PARENTAL PRACTICES AND听EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE TO CREATE A STRONGER FAMILY DURING COVID_19
Hosted by our Guest Speaker, Dr. Tina Montreuil听(Educational &听Counselling Psychology)
COVID-19 has burdened parents, yet has also paved the way for a larger discussion on ways to promote mental well-being. The ability for parents to regulate their own emotions predicts frequent and effective reliance on supportive parenting practices. Supportive parenting is best achieved when a connected, caring, and responsive relationship with children is fostered early on and more importantly, supportive parenting has been shown to impact child development and overall well-being even in adulthood. As such, the current pandemic context provides an opportunity to develop stronger families.听
