Staying Connected and Calm During Jewish Holidays

The joy, meaning, and togetherness of Jewish holidays can also bring long days, late nights, full homes, and disrupted routines—conditions that can feel overwhelming for children and caregivers alike. Dr. Anne Townsend and Jenny Barrett from Mariposa Education will share simple, research-backed ways to stay grounded, reduce stress, and strengthen connection with your children during busy holiday seasons.

Whether navigating family gatherings, routine changes, screen-time struggles, or big feelings around meals and expectations, these moments are easier when we understand what’s happening in the brain. This session will offer practical, relationship-based tools to help families stay connected and calm while honoring the spirit of the Jewish holidays.
