NYP
How Parents Can Support Their Children's Social Skills in this Post-Pandemic World

Thursday, November 30th
7 pm to 8 pm
Virtual

Our children lost 1-2 years of in-person peer interactions during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Children with a history of anxiety and ADHD, and those who may demonstrate awkward social interactions, are at an increased risk of not achieving the most fulfilling age-appropriate interactions with peers.

Join our multidisciplinary panel for a virtual presentation that will focus on the following areas to help children develop/improve friendships:

How to help your child learn the "give and take" of interacting with others
Listening and speaking skills
Accepting positive feedback as well as constructive criticism
Managing negative feelings

During this presentation, parents and caregivers will learn tips to support the development of these skills. We will also share an overview of the Social Skills Group Program available at the NYP Westchester Behavioral Health and Adolescent Child Outpatient Clinic.

Moderator: Helen Ding, MD, Assistant Professor of Clinical
Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College, Chief of Child
& Adolescent Ambulatory Services, NYPH/Westchester Behavioral Health
Center Asst. Director, NYP Child & Adolescent
Psychiatry Training Program

Amen!

I wish every teacher understood this.

We need to gather together in NY! Our children are not having their needs met in the area of reading. Dyslexia and related learning problems are way more prevalent than is being understood. MANY children are not progressing in the foundational skill of reading.

So sad! This is the type of kid whose parents, even teachers, may have a difficult time getting the appropriate reading intervention even with the information provided.

I adminstered a decoding assessment to a 6th grade student who was able to "read" 90/120 real words correctly. However, when given nonsense words, she could only decode 10 words. This is a prime example of how students fall through the cracks. She is an articulate and outgoing young lady. On the surface it looks like she can read. However, she really just has a bank of words memorized and does not have any decoding strategies to assist with new or unfamiliar words. As you can imagine, her spelling skills are also extremely weak. I am looking forward to witnessing her progress with 1:1 Orton-Gillingham tutoring.
