To all the parents are struggling with online learning lately, please understand that your and your child’s emotional health comes first. I think most parents, including myself, get so caught up in what we have to DO for our kids that we forget, even at a time like this, that what they really need is just for us to BE with them. It’s normal at a time like this to get caught up because we feel like we need to keep up. This of course causes us to feel overwhelmed, easily frustrated, angry and anxious. This is completely normal at a time where the world is swirling with uncertainty. Let’s give ourselves some self compassion and to remember that we are all in this together.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or just need an outlet, please check out the side links for online parent resources or mental health resources.
