INTEGRATING LIFE POSTPANDEMIC

BY JENNIFER MCCALLUM

What life will look like after the pandemic is unsure, but one thing we can probably agree on is the combined toll this has taken on both our business and personal lives.

Our children are looking to us to give them reassurance that they will be reunited with classmates soon. They are hoping to go off to camp, get that first job, or resume their summer sports. But the closer to summer we get the more evident it is that these things cannot happen.

So, what exactly will life look like postpandemic? Will we pick up where we left off and spend our days rushing from work to home to our children's activities? Will we fall back into the same hustle with our work and bustle with our family? Will we head to the mall to shop every weekend, go out for dinner on Friday nights and host dinner parties? Will we jump right back into keeping up with the world instead of enjoying each moment and savouring the peace and quiet?

I asked a few moms what they will keep from their pandemic experience and what they will leave and here is what they said:

Keep: a stronger relationship with their spouse, Melina M.zoom calls with friends and family far away, Dana B. playing games after dinner, which we hadn't done in years, Dana B. walking the dogs every morning, Angie D. house projects, Dana B. time for reflection, Janet T. quality of our togetherness, long conversations, Sonja M. naps, workouts, Alyx M. being comfortable and honouring the need to have time apart, Claire C.

Leave: our education system before the pandemic, Melina M. the busyness of life, Jennifer M. the isolation, Melina M. and Angie D. taking hugs for granted, Joan P.

What will you leave behind postpandemic and what will you continue to do?

So how do we plan for post-pandemic now that we know what we want to keep from it and what we want to leave?

One simple answer..."Continue to live the life that works for you and your family.

"If you are wondering how to do this, I have set out an overview of the steps that need to be taken to make sure you are continuing to live the life that best suits your family.

1. Hold Family Meetings weekly to stay connected and talk about what you like and what you don't like about your time together during the pandemic. 2. Create a contract to include items you want to keep as you move out of isolation. Have everyone from the family sign it. Once the world opens up fully again you may forget the things that you liked; writing it down will help keep you on track.

3. Be careful. Encourage your kids to continue to wash their hands frequently for at least 20 seconds. Notice how often they are touching their face and help them recognize when they are doing this.

4. Be kind. Not everyone will be ready to integrate into 'normal' activities. Never judge or shame someone that is not ready to interact and participate in daily life activities like they did before the pandemic.

5. Stay in touch with your older kids that will be heading back to college or university.

These are unprecedented times and they will be doing their best to 'get back to normal' but may need your support to navigate their emotions.

6. Think about how you were not prepared for this pandemic and make a decision to be prepared if it happens again. Pandemicproof your work, stay healthy, and create a savings account and put money away each month for emergencies such as this.

Our Parent Coaches offer a FREE 30-minute, confidential call! Reach out to them at www.parentcoach.club If you are struggling with how your life will be affected post-pandemic, reach out for support.

Our Parent Coaches can help you work through a range of emotions. They specialize in everything from college success to self-care, to marriage support and more. Most offer a 30minute free confidential chat to help you through life during and after the pandemic. Together we will be stronger and more prepared for our new and improved postpandemic lives. Just don't forget that you have all the power and control to create what that life will look like. It is, and always has been, in your hands. Sending love and strength and wisdom to you all! We have learned so much and now it is time to collectively make sure we live our best lives - in our own unique way!

TIP # 1

f l e s r u o Y s Tos a Line Claire Cetti, Parent Coach for MOMpreneurs

Toss Yourself a Line, Times are tough right now and it can be SO easy to get caught up in the moments of frustration, overwhelm and chaos of it all.

“Tossing yourself a line” is to add a phrase or word to your current line of thought when you are having a hard time that elicits hope and possibility for you in the moment.

Some words to add might be “right now” or “yet” at the end of your thought / emotion / sentence.

"I can’t afford this...RIGHT NOW." "I am so angry this isn’t working....YET" "I am frustrated with my child.....RIGHT NOW” Adding “right now” or “yet” can help put an end in sight to your frustration, negative thought or emotion you are fully in at the moment. It will provide you the strength to walk through the tough moment and out the other side into a more calm and re-connected state.

About Claire Cetti, Claire is a mama of 4 and has been working with parents for over 10 years both at a college health and counseling center and as a PCI Certified Parent Coach®.

Claire helps MOMpreneurs and couples feel more in control, calm and connected with their kids and within their family. She does this through 1x1 coaching, group coaching and workshops.

PARENT & TEEN GUIDE

What do you do?

I specialize in helping parents of kids ages 10-25 enjoy peaceful homes and relationships within their family. I do this with compassion and without judgment. This work is not about quick strategies, it's about working with the parent to create lasting, generational change in the family environment.

What issues do you deal with?

I have personally experienced and worked with teen pregnancy, adolescent addiction, anxiety, and depression.

How can you help?

Together we work to identify the limiting beliefs your child's behavior is triggering inside of you and work through them to discover new beliefs that will better serve the parent/child relationship you are in. We work on parenting with rather than over your child.

What can I expect?

I always offer a 20-minute complimentary consultation in order to learn more about your unique family situation and to help you get to me and how I work with parents. I have a reasonable hourly rate, weekly custom packages, and I also offer an 8-week online course I will personally guide you through one module per week.

How can I find you?

I am on Facebook at Real Life Parent Guide, you can text me anytime at 972-689-0250 to schedule our complimentary consultation.

What other parents say about Kim "Thank you for caring so much about my comfort on this journey...you pushed enough buttons to get stuff out and done, but not enough to cause dread. I am a better parent for having worked with you." ~Carmen, mom of two "You helped me understand my kids aren't acting and saying things just to hurt me, it is there way of showing me they are growing up and making decisions for themselves. I don't take their statements as personally anymore, I know that this is how teenagers express there need for a feeling of independence." Deb, mom of twin teen boys and college-age girl "Best investment I ever made for our family!" Jennifer, mom of four teens "Thank you for caring so much about my comfort on this journey...you pushed buttons just enough to get stuff out and done but not enough to create dread." Carmen, mom of two "You heard and understood where sometimes I don't feel my wife gets where I'm coming from. Just hearing myself talk out loud and you're asking me the right questions brought me so much peace of mind. Thank you, Kim, for doing this work!" David, stepdad of three

r u o y e s o o Ch Battles Dana Baker-Williams, Parent and Teen Coach

Choose your Battles, One tip that my clients love that works beautifully is Step Away From the Stove—your kid being the stove.

Would you move closer to touch a burning stove? You step away, so you don't get burned! So if your child or teen is in a bad mood or pushing your buttons, walk away.

Don't engage; choose your battles because not everything is worth the pain.

So be flexible when you can and avoid setting rules your kids can't easily follow.

A chronically messy teen might have real trouble immediately maintaining a spotless bedroom. So if that's not crucial to you, let it go. Remember, you can always close his door.

About Dana Baker-Williams.

Speak with Kindness and offer a choice, So much of our lives have changed in the past few weeks, we’re all feeling a loss of control to some degree. Yet even with the extreme change of schedule and pace, there are still things that need to get done, right?

Here is the best way I have found to ask my kids (any age) to do something that they likely won’t want to do. It’s all in the presentation. These four little words always make things go much smoother. Ready…here they are: Would you be willing; this is better than “Please” better than “Do this now!” Would you be willing is a kinder approach and helps them believe they have a choice in the matter. For example: (said with sincerity), “Would you be willing to set the table or to make the noodles for the spaghetti?”

M , l e i t n o M Sonja COLLEGE CONFIDENCE What do you do?

While maintaining a compassionate relationship, I train parents to become the best educator for their teens so they can feel confident about plans after high school.

What issues do you deal with?

I focus on communication skills and knowledge specific to helping your teens create a plan ready to implement as they approach high school graduation. Topics include college affordability, college admissions options, career training, identifying the right majors for teens, building the college list, college essay writing strategies, and so much more!

What can I expect?

Let’s schedule a 30-minute call to talk about your needs and your starting point! We will determine which service plan is best for you which can include our: comprehensive workbook with action plans, templates, and agenda samples, online podcast training program if you are always on the go, 10-session online parent course, and/or one-to-one coaching

How can you help?

Helping teens plan their paths after high school can create tension and conflict in the home mostly because families are waiting too late to begin, or there isn’t enough information on what the options are, what requirements fulfill each option, and how to engage with teens to ignite their motivation to be active in making a plan. As an expert in the field of college admissions for 20 years, I will provide training and coaching that places teens at the center of planning. Parents and teens will no longer have to face this educational journey with uncertainty, worry, and confusion!

What other parents say about me “Sonja gave me the communication tools to allow me to take charge of the college process. I was familiar with the college application process, however was clueless on how to have impactful and meaningful conversations with my teen. My daughter and I are so much more closer! Thank you so much!”

“I have been working with College Confidence for years and I truly will not work with anyone else. Sonja's experience is unmatched. She is professional and an expert in college admissions. She will not only advocate for your child, but will be a critical pillar in your family's journey. She's that good!”

“Thank you again for your wonderful presentation/talk for our group. I feel we all (parents and students) learned quite a bit from you that night. My daughter and I both agreed the way you presented the college process, was with a lot of positive influence and enthusiasm. You made it sound challenging about writing ‘your story’ but in a way that made the girls feel special and that it is ok to like yourself and tell college why they would benefit from the you as the applicant. To go for it!”

Adjust your Expectations, THE STRUGGLE: Parents are confused and worried about how distance learning will impact their students' future opportunities.

As schools adjust their curriculum, families feel like they are winging it.

TIP:Follow these 3 tips to regain control of your teen's learning experience and expectations at home: #1: Take it day by day...and work with what you have. Everyone knows resources and time is highly limited, and families are doing their best. #2: This term will not be graded...schools and colleges worldwide understand that this term is an exception, and will not be emphasizing grades or test scores for this term. #3: Stay connected...with your school district and local colleges to get a pulse about how they are supporting students.

e g r a h c e R Aparna Venkataraman, Parent Coach

Recharge, When we tap into what our minds and bodies need - we feel recharged!

3 quick ways to recharge: 1) LISTEN: Place your hand on your heart and close your eyes - listening to your heartbeat gives yourself that feeling of warmth, comfort, oxytocin, and you are tuned inward to honor your own body's support system 2) SMELL: Inhale a scent: Whether it is an essential oil, fruit or fresh air - using your senses sends a signal to your brain that you want to feel relaxed (florals and herbs, uplifted (citruses and mints invigorate) or even balanced (trees help us to feel supported and steady) 3) TOUCH: Hands-on activities such as playdough, baking, creating collage art, or anything that uses your fine motor skills (hands and fingers) release stress - just the sensation of a new material helps you feel great because you are in creation mode!

About Aparna Venkataraman.

With 15 years of experience guiding families in schools, hospitals & non-profits, Aparna Venkataraman is a parent coach, meditation teacher, motivational speaker and essential oils educator - she loves to help families find and feel more flow, joy and ease!

What other parents say about Tia “Tia's incredible capacity to listen without judgement, to hold a mirror up for us as parents to see what does and does not work and to offer insight into the minds of our teens, are a few of her greatest talents. I have seen example after example of how the smallest changes to my parenting styles have led to a blossoming in my daughter's heart and mind. A huge thank you to Tia for having such an impact on our family as a whole.” - A.M.

“I am so grateful for Tia and her wisdom and encouragement. During our sessions I never felt judged for my mistakes. She treated me with empathy and kindness every step of the way. I feel more confident in my own abilities and I know that when my family hits the inevitable bumps in the road, I have a wonderful safe place to gain more wisdom.” - C.S. “I never could have understood the lasting effects my sessions with Tia would have. I understood that I was investing in a long-term process. My hope was that it would offer me different tools to use for parenting. I had no way to truly understand the deep and rich connection it would afford me with my children. A good friend recently remarked about my teenage daughter "You know she really loves you. She looks up to you and knows she can trust you." Wow! The rewards of my investment in this work have paid for themselves more than I could have asked for." - M.A.

TIP # 7

e h t a e r B Janet Taylor, Parent Coach

Breathe, This tip comes in handy when the "wrong" emotions want to take over what we know we want to be saying.

In yoga it is called box breathing, but also referred to as tactical breathing or 4 by 4 breathing.

It is also a great tip to share with your children and they can practice it when they are anxious, stressed, overwhelmed or angry.

1. Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four.

2. Hold that same breathe for another count of four.

3. Slowly exhale through your mouth, contracting your stomach for another count of four.

4. Hold your empty breathe for a count of 4.

About Janet Taylor.

Mind Map, Looking for a fun and creative way for your family to “get it together�?

Mind mapping may be the answer. Tony Buzan, the creator of mind mapping, claims his methods are most conducive to creative thinking and memory as the curvy colourful lines dotted with images are more easily absorbed.

Begin with a picture for your central idea.

An image is worth a thousand words, and keeps you focused. You have a stronger recall of images.

Make your branches curved rather than straight-lined. Curves is immensely satisfying and pleasing to our brains.

Each main branch should have its own colour as colours have been proven to form strong association with words and concepts and create stronger neural paths when forming memories and new concepts.

Connect your main branches to the central image and connect your second- and thirdlevel branches to the first and second levels because your brain works by association. It is incredibly powerful to link two (or three, or four) things together as it creates new neural pathways in your thought process.

Pray Doreen Steenland Christian Parent Coach

Pray, Our brains are wired to detect threats and protect you from the threat!

Your brain is doing what it was created by God to do!

God created your brain, your emotions and has given you direction as to how to manage them!

You can manage the way your brain is reacting and take your thoughts captive in obedience to Christ, even in the midst of stress!

Take Captive your Thoughts in obedience to Christ: 1. Pause, Pray, breathe deeply.

2. Notice and Discover what situations trigger your reaction.

3. Discover what part of your body is giving you clues (neck, shoulders, stomach, chest?)

4. Ask internal questions: What am I feeling right now? What is the wise response? What is beneath the surface?

Remember: ONE thing you can control is YOUR OWN THINKING. God promises peace for the one who chooses to place their gaze on Him! Phil.

e t a t i d e M Casey O'Roarty, Parent Coach

Meditate, What is keeping me sane during this weird time of quarantine and uncertainty is taking time to nurture me. Many of us go to the gym or exercise to work out our bodies... I find that a practice of stillness and meditation is the workout I need to work out my mind. And isn't the mind working overtime these days??? This practice increases our ability to be aware of our emotional experience, and create the pivot we want to be more in response and less in reaction.

How to Meditate: 1. Decide what the best time of day is for you to take time alone 2. Sit comfortably with your eyes closed 3. Bring your attention to your breath 4. Notice the thoughts and beliefs that pull at your attention, and come back to focusing on the sensation of breathing 5. Do this for however long you want 6. Trust that this practice matters

You C.A.N. find Joy, C-CREATE the time and space for joy.

When you or your kids are feeling overwhelmed, it can be easy to try to schedule and control everything. It’s important to include a time for goofing off and having downtime that can turn into moments of joy.

A-When your kids are feeling silly and happy, it’s important to ALLOW that organic moment to happen. The silly moments boost their happy brain and let them get through the next assignment or to combat the big feelings.

N-NOTICE the small joyful moments. It might be the hummingbird flying by or the belching contest in the next room.

There are small joyful moments that happen every day. You just have to notice them.

What is a joyful moment that happened today?

How did you feel in that moment?

About Sheri Gazitt.

Linda is my absolute go-to person when I need support, clarity and direction. She has helped me find my way through many moments I have felt lost. Linda has also helped my teen-age daughter through many typical teen-age struggles. My daughter is a much happier person after her sessions with Linda. She works with Linda on a regular basis now and is doing amazing!! Thank you Linda for the work you do. My family is very grateful to have you on our side. Jennifer Funnell (Ontario, Canada) Linda is a gifted healer - she intuitively gets to the source of my obstacles and answers questions I didn't even know how to ask. I know that I can get on a call with her and I can trust that I'll feel better in just 60 minutes. She's helped guide me ‌.to follow my intuition and trust how to be in the flow. Before our session today, I felt untethered, lost in space, disconnected from my body - anxious, fearful, and overwhelmed - and definitely not creative! After our session I felt re-inspired, like a weight was lifted off my shoulders - and I felt connected to myself again. I highly recommend you go to Linda when you need help that you can't always put words to - she'll figure it out! -Jen Pillow (British Columbia, Canada) Working with Linda is a great experience overall. Coming in to sessions and working with Linda helped me clear my mind and really think rationally after. As well it calms and relaxes your mind and body during sessions. Working with Linda really helped me think about different aspects of situations, and working on finding out more about myself. After leaving I felt very positive and clear minded always looking forward to the next session. Nicholas ~ 18 years old (Ontario, Canada)

a r t n a M Have a Jane Evans, Parent Coach

Have a Mantra, During this time of uncertainty your wonderful brain may be playing up a bit!

Fortunately, your body is your best resource for creating a calm moment.

Regularly place your hand gently on it - the heart area can be soothing.

Breathe slowly in through your nose and imagine that air floating down to your toes.

Breathe out slowly through your mouth and let the air and all your emotions go.

Say to yourself a soothing phrase, "I am safe, I am safe" can be a good one.

A simple practice like this is vital to your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. It tops all of them up gently and effectively. Do it when you wake up, in the shower, any old time so your whole system learns it and welcomes it.

Then it will become a wonderful tool for these uncertain, often draining times as a parent, and for the rest of your days.

What's behind the Behaviour, Your child isn’t misbehaving, they’re finding a way to BELONG. Here’s a few top needs based on unfavorable behaviors: Annoying behaviors and/or excessive whining Child is looking for attention. Involve child usefully in tasks. Give hugs and spend quality time together without distractions.

Defiance Child is looking for power. Give them choices and let them help make decisions on things that affect them.

Seeking revenge Child is hurting. Listen and validate hurt feelings to help your child feel heard and a sense of belonging. Help your child brainstorm ideas to feel better.

Lack of motivation/Not taking action Child feels like giving up. Simplify tasks and show child small steps. Tell your child you have faith in their abilities.

It is much easier to heal the belief behind the behavior instead of the behavior itself!

About Ashley Seling Ashley Seling is a Certified Parenting Educator and New Mom Coach.

Her kindness and welcoming presence put my husband right at ease and he quickly let his defensiveness down. This allowed for us both to come together and start developing a common language from which to parent." - Juliet P "Casey- you’re an exceptional coach and facilitator. I think it was Katie Lowry who said that you are meant to do this work and I wholeheartedly agree. Sometimes when you talk I feel like you’ve been inside my head. You’re also a really good listener and very genuine. You’ve really influenced the way I parent, and really the way I see myself as a person. Love you!" - Kaite S.

Self Care, Confidence & Leadership for Teens and Their Parents

CLASS OF 2020 Helping your graduate through the pandemic

By: Dana E. Baker, Parenting in Real Life

Class of 2020 Helping the Class of 2020 In This Pandemic

Everything feels both chaotic and tentative at the same time right now.

Schools are out, but still teaching.

Proms are postponed or canceled.

Senior week and pranks no longer brighten graduation week, and graduation week doesn't even exist.

The health of our country--and world-far surpasses these daily changes, but that doesn't change the fact that kids, especially seniors are really getting the short end of the stick.

Seniors in high school and especially college are missing out on sports, dating, graduation trips and many other senior year traditions. Many spend time wishing they were in classes, not just on their laptops. They feel angry and frustrated, sometimes lonely and depressed. Not the send off they were looking forward to. And, yes, I'm sure there will be virtual parties and commencement ceremonies, but that's not what they worked so hard for.

So how do we help them focus on and look forward to their next steps? Closure isn't going to be easy and stress levels are running high. How do they take their AP tests? Right now it appears the tests will be shortened and taken online at home. Which in the abstract is better for the kids. But it is yet another new task to master at a very vulnerable time.

The really big question for many is how to choose the college they want to go to.

Many haven't gotten to visit the schools because of the pandemic. Sure they can do virtual visits and even virtual interviews but that is completely different, and for many not enough. For me and for my kids, it was getting on campus that was the ultimate deciding factor. It was that vibe, that intangible aspect of the atmosphere, the look of the kids--whether they are wandering alone or grouped in clusters, and the look and feel of the campus.

All of these changes heighten the stress and anxiety our kids feel. It’s not only the isolation and loss of the human connection, the missing of friends, the loss of the experiences but also the loss of the memories because they won’t have them. So how can we help?

Mental Health Let them feel the feelings they have. and validate that it's ok to feel and express them. And it's ok for you to grieve or feel their loss as well. Don't feel like you have to smile and point out any silver linings you can. At the same time, try to create new milestones and memories. Consider having a virtual party for graduation with their friends, or host a real one once restrictions are lifted. Ask them--they may have ideas on what would be fun to do. Try to keep stress levels low by not nagging them. Yes they still need to do their online studies but most schools are easing up on grades or even going pass/fail. Let them embrace that. Instead, encourage them to get outside, exercise, and Zoom of FaceTime their friends and other family members.

Social distancing doesn't have to lead to a feeling of isolation and loneliness so we need to help with that. Suggest a Netflix party or learning a new skill or playing games virtually. Try to keep them active and engaged so spirits stay high.

College Decision Some schools have pushed the decision deadline past May 1 due to the virus, which may help if campuses open up; but that's not looking likely right now. Support your student in her choice--do not add stress or pressure to choose one school over another (unless it's a financial reason or something). One of the best things you can do is show her that you believe she'll make a good decision. Be there to assist and help them think it through, but trust them to know themselves.

Get off the Comparison Train This is not the time to worry or think about where other kids are choosing to go.

What they are doing doesn't matter, and the comparisons and competition is brutal. Do we really want to teach them to "keep up with the Joneses", this young?

Believe me, they will be comparing and contrasting with each other, so as a parent let it go, let it go, let it go! I really believe our kids will all end up right where they are supposed to. They will find their place and their tribe.

Financial Aid College is expensive. But you don't always, have to pay the full sticker price. Look into financial aid, scholarships, grants and even merit pay. Schools will send accepted students a financial aid award letter, detailing loans, grants, scholarships and work-study options. Compare the offers and don't assume that's the best you'll get. If they get multiple acceptances and aid but the school they really want to go to offers the least incentive, call that school and explain the circumstances. If they want your student, they may find a little more money to offer.

We are all feeling loss and worry now--for ourselves, our kids, our community and our world. It's totally normal for your teen to feel anger, sadness and worry about their future. So it's important to build each other up and support our teens through this time. We can all explore new interests, connect with family and make new types of memories together.

What clients say about me: "JoBeth was always there to help me, she taught me everything I need about the school and made sure I was involved, but besides being a great teacher, she is a great person and she helped me improve my personal life and my life at school. I am really grateful that she was my coach."- Lilibeth "Before even graduating high school, Mrs. Evans was already helping me figure life out. She helped me with many scholarships applications that allowed me to go to the University of Arkansas for FREE. As a graduation gift, she gave me a book called “The Total Money Makeover” by Dave Ramsey. Of course, as a freshman in college, I had no interest in anything other than enjoying my freedom and having fun. I started doing bad in school. I called Mrs. Evans one day & talked to her about what was going. She told me to “get my act together” and that we all knew that without my scholarships I wouldn’t be able to afford college. Mrs. Evans has always been an honest, caring, & extremely nice person. She is an amazing teacher and friend. Years later and that book is still helping me be better and more responsible."-Carla "Jo saved my life mentally and emotionally -- I have chronic OCD coupled with depression and anxiety, and Jo is the first mental health professional I've ever worked with who I have felt completely safe and not judged by - I will be forever grateful for her empathetic and therapeutic genius!"-Becca
