Dear parents<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I <\/span>know that there is so much on your plate long before we all had to self-isolate for <\/span>Covid<\/span> 19.\u00a0 <\/span>I wanted to write you and provide some helpful tips for our \u2018new normal\u2019<\/span> a<\/span>s you try and navigate these inter<\/span>e<\/span>sting tim<\/span>es<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I would encourage you to figure out a \u2018new\u2019 rhythm for your family. We al<\/span>ways have<\/span>,<\/span> and always live by c<\/span>e<\/span>rtain rhythms that you may not have even thought about.\u00a0 <\/span>T<\/span>he earth rotates around the sun once making a year.\u00a0 The <\/span>angle of the <\/span>ear<\/span>th\u2019s axis changes giving us seasons.\u00a0 The sun rises every morning and sets every evening.\u00a0 <\/span>T<\/span>hough there a<\/span>re slight variations on the timing of <\/span>these <\/span>r<\/span>h<\/span>ythms<\/span> they are<\/span> constants in our world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So<\/span>,<\/span> I encourage you to find a rhythm that works for your family.\u00a0 <\/span>I like to call it a rhythm instead of a schedule because it seems <\/span>less rigid and <\/span>give<\/span>s<\/span> some flexibility<\/span> to your \u2018new normal.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Try different things and see what works for your family.\u00a0 Talk with \u201cyour people\u201d (other par<\/span>ents) and see what is working for th<\/span>em. However, if talking to other people about this and finding out what they are d<\/span>oing adds to your stress then don\u2019t talk about it.\u00a0<\/span> This is not a competition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> It won\u2019t be perfect <\/span>because what we are living through is far from perfect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take care<\/span> and feel free to reach out if there is <\/span>some<\/span>thing<\/span> I can help you with…<\/span>Sue McAllister<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
