I guess we could all use a little bit of this right about now.....
There is so much uncertainty in the world and without a doubt it creates a little bit of stress in all of us. The good new is we have the power to change that, and model those techniques for our kids and teach them the great skill of self regulation!!!
We are always talking about "mimicking" and having our children follow adult demand and adult directed activities....why not couple it with the amazing skill of deep breathing by healthline.com!
I guess the other idea we can focus on is GRACE.... As September approaches and the question of "what will school look like" is being asked by everyone, I think we all need to remember the word GRACE!
This is not a great situation for anyone, I have seen the analogy made that we are all in the same storm but not the same boat, lets remember to be kind and understanding of everyone and their situation and decision. As a parent, an educator, a coach and member of a community I understand the hardships this puts on us all, but I am SURE that everyone is working hard to try and find the best and safest situation for EVERYONE! As parents one of the greatest gifts we can give our children today is the comfort and expectation that regardless of what each family decides that they will be OK! Kids look to us to help them decide what to expect and how to handle situations, lets teach them to be kind, understanding and resilient!!!!
