Holding Space for More Than One: Navigating Sibling Life and Relationship
It can be hard to emotionally, as well as physically, hold space for two or more children at the same time. You may feel pulled in many directions, eager to provide each child the support and connection they are asking of you. You may notice an escalated sense of competition of needs or struggles between siblings during certain times of day that you want more support with. You are not alone. In this session, we will explore sibling dynamics and siblinghood from the perspective of attachment. We will identify dynamics between siblings that may cause more stress and tension within the household as well as strategies towards connection and less competition.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher conferences are coming up on April 15th (all day) and April 22nd (evening). You have already received an email from your child’s teachers to sign up for a conference. School will be closed for conferences on Tuesday, April 15th, with no children in attendance. During your conference time, childcare will be available in the gym between 8:30am and 3:00pm.
School is open on April 22nd with a regular schedule. There is no childcare for evening conferences.
Conferences are a wonderful opportunity to gain insights into your child’s life at school and help formulate goals for the school year with your child’s teaching team.
Picture Day
Picture Day is on Tuesday, April 22nd. Children should come to school at their usual scheduled times. Throughout the school day, each class will have a designated time for their photo sessions.
Please note that the Pineapple Room 3 AM class, which meets on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, will have their pictures taken on Tuesday at 1:45 pm. For families in the Pineapple Room M/W/F, please bring your children to school at that time and we will guide you to the appropriate location where they will have their pictures taken.
Office Hours with Kate
We have added additional office hours with our psychological consultant Kate Wechsler in April and May. Kate has worked with Plymouth for over 25 years and has helped many families tackle the conundrums of parenting. Plymouth hosts monthly open office hours with Kate, which allow you to meet with her individually to discuss issues and concerns you might have and get support. The upcoming dates are April 11th and May 16th. Half-hour appointments will be available between 9:30 am and noon. Please email Silvia at pcsadmin@plymouthchurch.org to book an appointment.
