One of the things we’re prioritizing whenever we meet with students involves spending a few minutes checking in on our physical selves. It’s easy to get detached from practicing internal awareness when much of our time is spent online. We are bodies, hearts, and minds but sometimes parts of us get more attention. And as families, spending a lot of time together, we can get into the habit of taking things for granted and forgetting to process together what’s difficult about life right now. We’ve learned that where Covid is concerned, 66% of adolescents believe the anxiety that they currently have will never go away (CDC study).
