Lean into Holiday Calm

Posted: 12/20/2021 8:10 am

‘Tis the season for connecting with family and friends, but pandemic concerns mean holiday celebrations will probably be smaller, quieter affairs. With all of us experiencing some sense of loss, Brookline Parent Education Network (B-PEN) urges families to acknowledge that and take care of each other — slow down, encourage students to wind down from the academic pressure, and take advantage of what Katherine May describes in her book “Wintering” as the power of rest and retreat. (Here’s an excellent podcast that could make for a meaningful family listen.) B-PEN wishes you all a happy, safe holiday season!
