As summer vacation ends, parents rush to prepare for another school year. You may have filled your child’s backpack, but missed the most important detail in your preparations. Join Jeanne Dexter and Paul Schweinler, to learn how parents, teachers, and other adults, can start conversations with their child that allow them to talk about what concerns them, express what they need, and build strength and confidence to face a new school year.
