"I too have gotten lost in the anxiety of my children being left behind academically.
I too felt frustrated when they were missing out on so much socially and athletically.
I too kept on telling myself what I told my clients’ parents, “These kids are resilient, and they will bounce back faster than we will.”
But when I looked out at my own daughter lying on the floor, feeling increasingly down and frustrated by schoolwork with no soccer games to lift her spirits, I started questioning my own advice."
