Last summer I had a conversation with a woman from our congregation who is a special education teacher and a behavioral specialist in a nearby school district. We talked about everything kid-related and COVID-related, as we prepared our kids for a return to in-person school after a year of virtual learning. I felt anxious in more ways than one. Like many other parents and teachers, we noted a marked increase in anxiety and other heightened emotions among our kids, too.
