Last day of August. How are you doing? Not as a parent. Not as a caregiver. Not as the person holding it all together. How are you doing today? Drop a number in the comments: 1 through 5. 1 = Running on empty. August was a lot. 2 = Getting through. One foot in front of the other. 3 = Steady. Still standing. 4 = Good. Better than I expected this month to feel. 5 = I feel genuinely stronger than I did 30 days ago. No number is the wrong answer. All of them are welcome here. September is coming for many of you; that means new school years, new teachers, new meetings, new conversations about your child. We are going to walk into it together. This community is not going anywhere. Neither am I. See you in September. Dr. KC

Drop a number in the comments: 1 if you are here as a parent or caregiver, 2 if you are here as an educator or school professional, 3 if you are both, 4 if you are something else entirely. That is it, just a number. I want to know who is in the room with me. Dr. KC
