Moving Into A Post-Pandemic Future

Dear River Families, 
How are you? I hope you and your loved ones are doing well and have been enjoying the nice weather we've been having. As the city is re-opening and we are moving into a new normal, I find myself getting excited and nervous at the same time, so I hope some of the information I have been looking at can be helpful for you too. Making our way out of the pandemic will be more of a process and I am grateful to know that we are doing this together. 


Parenting and managing families.
  • Tips about transitioning our children into in-person learning, dealing with social anxiety, and decreasing screen time, etc. 
  • Different perspectives and approaches from an infectious disease physician and a clinical child psychologist, about leading their families into a post-pandemic future. . 

Travel tips and safety. 
  • Now that the CDC has updated its guidelines for vaccinated travelers, I am excited about the ability to travel again. However, just like many parents, I am also cautious about travelling with my young children. I hope this article can help you weigh your options and plan ahead. 
May is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
  • One great way to mark the month is by educating yourself and your children about the community through reading. The New York Public Library has a great list of recommended readings. 

Summer camps and fun things to do as NYC is re-opening.
  • Still looking for summer camps and classes for your children? This list could help.
  • SecretNYC lists some of the most current and fun things to do in the city.

Did you know that you can watch Riverkids Storytime anytime on our YouTube channel? Please "Subscribe", like, and comment. We would love to hear from you. 

The last year has certainly presented challenges for us to meet as a community, but as we are transitioning, I would like to bring connection back into focus.
As we approach Pentecost (May 23), and the weeks that come after, RiverKids will be listening to stories about the coming of the Holy Spirit, the early church, and the spread of the Good News. We will be exploring the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering, connecting, and uniting us as a church community. We will pray, chat, and encourage each other until we are able to safely meet again in person...very soon!! (please be on the lookout for our exciting update on the church space)

Also, I am always up for connecting with you and your family, so if you want to chat 1-on-1, or have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to hear from you!
