One of the, um, really interesting things that I have come to learn is that the ba- back to school stress is actually recognized as a common psychological challenge, and even the American Psychological Association describes back to school time as overwhelming and that fear of the unknown, even for new teachers, of new classmates, academic difficulty, all these things, they're a major driver of anxiety.

Mm-hmm.

So if you are a parent or a grandparent who's listening and you resonate with any of those, you are not alone.

We actually had some great conversation about this at the workshop, and the parents and kids both were very kind of eager and ready to talk about some of this stuff.

So for parents and kids alike, it is, it's stressful.

For parents, it's all the roles that you have to be.

You have to still be a good employee, a good neighbor.

But A- Amanda's gonna run through them a little bit about what, what we did for this exercise.
