Parenting School-Aged Children During The Pandemic
We held off for a week so that Ciana could get her kids started on the new school year and have some nuggets to share with you and things she has already learned about this strange, pandemic school year. She has some fantastic tips and tricks that we both hope will help make your kids' school year as easy on you as possible. Together, we can all support each other and help the kids have what they need for success.
