Phaedra Parks Back To School

It's back to school season, even if it looks a little different this year for many students.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Peacock and the Bravo App.

Phaedra Parks' sons with ex-husband Apollo Nida, Dylan, 7, and Ayden, 10, are all ready for their virtual first day of school thanks to their generous mom. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum posted a video of her two kids opening up what she got them for the new school year, even if might end up taking place at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Our might not go back to school supplies is here," Phaedra added in the Instagram video of her kids checking out their new outfits. And yes, those are Versace kicks.

She captioned the gifting session: "Mood when your back to school virtual first day of school drip arrives."

Phaedra previously opened up about having to homeschool her sons when everyone went into self-quarantine during the pandemic earlier this year. 

“I love my sons but teaching children is NOT my ministry,” she wrote alongside a photo of her and her sons at their home back in March. “May God grant all the moms, dads, and caretakers patience and grace during this quarantine. God send a village to sustain us during this difficult time. We will survive.” 

Still, for this family it is about striking an important balance. As much as Phaedra treats her young boys, she's also made it a top priority to teach them about the racial injustices happening in the world.

"My children obviously saw the George Floyd incident on television and could not understand why that was happening. We had a really harsh discussion about it and I had to tell them the truth… you have to tell the very hard stories. You have to make your children very aware of what goes on in the culture as far as, you know, race relations, how you might be perceived as a young Black boy," she said in an interview with ET earlier this summer.
