Show Notes

Our kids are heading back to school this coming week in Ontario, but are we parents truly ready for that? Considering we are still in a pancemic with cases rising each day, I am feeling so nervous about my child going back to school. 

On this episode, I break down my concerns regarding the back to school situation for kids in Ontario and how this is affecting parents. In addition, I discuss the political aspects of our children’s return to school and what we as a community need to do to keep our kids safe.
