Back to School Parenting Tips
Greetings!
As if the start of the year isn't filled with enough anxiety, here comes the COVID-protocol-but-what-about-academics-and-my-child-is-behind-and-will-she-be-safe start of school.
I want to talk about your feelings in this edition, because you really matter and because what you feel often gets transmitted to the child in front of you, even if you don't say anything. Kids are funny that way - they can read your heart.
Anxiety is fear where there's no present threat. Is it presently threatening to send your child into a building where the Delta variant is still very real? It could be. Is the school doing all it can to keep your child safe? Check it out and only send them if it feels as safe as it can be under these circumstances. If it doesn't, contact the school and ask for more safety. Or choose a different school or method of learning.
Now I have this to offer you, Dear Parent. Do what you can to assure the child's safety. Find out how to get free testing for your child or buy some home test kits for your peace of mind.
Then decide whether to visualize your child in peril, or in a safe welcoming environment. For the latter, which I recommend, visualize teachers, many with school-age children of their own, who are working VERY hard to make the school year satisfying to the students. Visualize that they have taken their own precautions to keep everyone safe, and that they are following district guidelines. Visualize that they realize that creating a warm environment overrides academics at the start of this year, that connecting with their students is what will help them feel safe enough to learn. Visualize that everyone is in "catch-up mode." You and your child are not alone.
Remember that no matter how much it seems like it does, worry never changes a situation for the better.
Ask yourself: "What if something goes very right today?" Do this over and over as a gift to you.
Then do what you can to exude confidence in your child's adaptability. Say, "Remember how you got through so much last year? I notice how you built some real skill in making it work. Nothing can take that skill away from you. You're taking it to school with you, and maybe you'll even have an opportunity to help other kids feel safe and included."
"I trust you to do your best."
These times are far from normal, but the lessons in them are invaluable in helping kids cope with the unexpected.
If your child is struggling to adjust, I'm happy to help. Click here for info on parent coaching.
And you have my sincerest wishes for a rich and rewarding school year, maybe in ways you never imagined!
Warmly,

Give yourself grace now more than ever. Take time to recognize those in your life - whether it is you, your coworkers, loved ones, or others in your life - who are working, trying to parent, and trying to educate their children, likely all at the same time. A little recognition can go a long way. Make a special effort to connect with anyone in your workplace or community who may be particularly vulnerable. Talking about hardships can be uncomfortable, but just acknowledging that someone is struggling truly does help. If you are feeling overwhelmed or need someone to talk to about a family situation, please reach out to connect with one of the resources below or with the mental health crisis numbers.

The environment around us can have a major impact on our mental and physical well-being. Improve your personal environment Your home and work environment can influence your mood and motivation and create or reduce stress. Creating a comfortable and healing environment that works for you can help you feel energized and calm. Consider reducing clutter and visual noise, improving lighting conditions, adding plants or other glimpses of nature, and reducing background noise. Take a moment to connect with your home environment, and create a space that works for you. Check out the websites below for information and tips: How does your personal environment impact your wellbeing?, the University of Minnesota. The Connection between Your Home and Your Sense of Well-being, the University of Wisconsin. Nature heals Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress, and increases pleasant feelings. Take some time this week to get outside. Concentrate on the scene around you. Even a quick step outside can feel rejuvenating and help balance our moods. Consider taking a short walk around your neighborhood, driving along a scenic route, or even grabbing a quick moment in an outdoor space near you. If going outside is not an option, try to bring nature indoors. Houseplants, aquariums, or even posters of nature scenes can all help bring an element of nature into your home. #STAYCONNECTEDMN 7 of 9 Check out these websites for ideas on how to get out and enjoy Minnesota outdoors:

Connecting with others is one of the most important things we can do for our well-being. We are social creatures; connecting with others is essential for our survival. Social connection lowers anxiety and depression, helps us regulate our emotions, and improves our self-esteem and empathy. Connecting in a pandemic is hard, especially when we are told to stay physically apart. Take a moment today to think about the connections that are most important to you. Jot down ideas on how you can connect with friends regularly, or schedule a regular call, video chat, or virtual game night with those you want to connect with. Share pictures of how you connect with a friend on social media using the hashtag #StayConnectedMN. For some ideas, check out these resources:

When connecting with those close to you, remember, it is OK to talk about how you are feeling. In fact, we should talk about our feelings. Especially during this pandemic, it is OK to not be OK. Reach out to a friend, family, neighbor, warm line, or crisis line if you want to talk. No concern is too small. Help is available and hope is possible.

“To make a difference in someone’s life, you don’t have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful, or perfect. You just have to care.” – Mandy Hale, author, and blogger
Prioritize your mental health and well-being. Your mental health and well-being are important. Find healthy ways to start, renew, or maintain habits that promote taking care of yourself and your mental well-being.
Create your own well-being plan. Taking care of yourself is not selfish. It helps us to be a better friend, parent, worker, and partner. Think about your needs and ask yourself if you are meeting them. Consider making a daily checklist of things you like to do that help you feel well. Your list is for you and can include anything from calling a friend and eating balanced meals, to dancing to your favorite song.
Take note of your daily habits. If you notice changes in your drinking, smoking, eating, or media use, reach out for help.
Give yourself some grace. Parenting during COVID-19 may be challenging. Even though the pandemic has been going on for a while, you may find yourself struggling. Some ideas to support your well-being as a parent include:
Give yourself grace. You are doing the best you can with the tools you have. Recognize that there will be good days and bad days.
Balance your needs while caring for your children.
Anticipate situations and be prepared as best you can.
Reach out for support if and when you need it.
Parents/Caretakers...please take some time to acknowledge the ups and downs of the journey you have had as a family over the last year. For most, there were times and situations that were beyond stressful and for many, there were really awful and horrible times. Our hearts go out to all of you for having to deal with whatever came on your life plates as you have endured this COVID 19 life-storm. As we think about the realities of life, we recognize that even in the bad times, there are okay times, good times, and even great aspects that play out for all of us. Thank goodness that life gives some sense of balance with that reality.
We hope you have felt supported by your Middleton School Family. If you haven't, please reach out to us and give us your feedback. It is important for us to know so that we can be reflective and make changes if need be. Our partnership with you is key to the success of "our" students. We thank you for sharing in the burdens and the triumphs through this journey. We know you were put in a position to be a "home teacher" in ways you were never trained to be and it no doubt disrupted the many roles of your lives.
We know that we are not through the storm yet. Going back to in-person learning brings about a whole slew of emotions, challenges, and yes, some risks. However, we believe the benefits outweigh those risks at this time. We are so happy to have the children back to their school home. We see them talking to their friends, playing, and showing joy. We also see them tired and overwhelmed at the same time. They are reconnecting and building their stamina back up and it will take time. We are patient and will be focusing on making them feel safe and connected to their teachers, classmates, and friends.
We are and will always be in this together! Please reach out as needed, and again...WE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!
Here is some advice that was shared with the students on Mrs. D's Page:
Our journey will continue, yet as of this moment in time, we don't know what that will look like or mean for us. As we all await the news, just remember that from today until January 4th, our time should be spent focusing on family, friends and self-care for all. Our kids need to rest their brains, refuel their bodies with relaxation, fun and relationships. You as parents/caregivers need the same. It will all be waiting for when we return, and together, we will start where each person is at in 2021.
For some, the holiday season will still bring joy. For others, it will be continued stress or grief and for many it will be a combination of a mixed bag of emotions and experiences. Just alway remember that you are not alone and will get through this.

While I cannot predict if or when we will be in a position to go full "distance learning" I do understand the concern and, in some, fear that this will become a reality. The best advice that I can give you is making sure you have a solid "distance learning" plan on the days that your child/children are home. I know this is easier said than done as everyone's reality looks so very different. The more your child and family can practice now, the better position you will all be in if you are in a position to have them home every day.
As you have probably heard, structure and routine are so important. All human beings need this, whether they like it or not. If possible, try to have your child develop a balanced routine, like school would bring about. For some, the academic part of the routine might have to have some components take place after parent/caregiver work hours. That is okay too.
Get up and do morning routine at home:
Clean your face and body
Get dressed
Eat
Brush teeth
Maybe start the day with some t.v., video games (after routine is finished)
Go to school
Morning check-in...get organized for the day. Do I have my supplies? Do I know what is on my list of "to do"s? Get an overall summary of the day.
Instruction/Work Time
Take a break (snack, bathroom, movement break)
Instruction/Work Time
Recess/Lunch....get fresh air, have some fun, fill your tummies
Read Aloud from teachers (often)...connection
Instruction/Work Time
Afternoon Break....connection, movement, relaxation, fun
Final work of the day...fill out planner, get materials organized
Get up and do morning routine at home. Same time everyday...you don't get to sleep in for real school, so why should you for "school at home." Post morning routine if need be.
Go to school. Where is the "school environment" at home?. If possible try to have it in a place that does not entail being in bed and away from other preferred and non-preferred distractions. Keep it consistent. Teach kids that going to school is the law...even during COVID times.
Morning preparedness check-in (Have visuals/checklists if need be)
Where is my device?
Do I have my materials needed to do my work (including a water bottle and maybe some noise cancelling headphones)
Check Seesaw to see what the school plan is for today.
Instruction/ Work Time: (20-30 minutes) Focus on the work they can do independently until someone is able to help them.
Take break. (snack, water, bathroom break, movement, relaxation breathing, preferred activity (as long are able to stop after the break and refocus on work)
Instruction/Work (20-30 min)
Take a break...lunch, play, relax
Instruction/Work time
Take a break
When done with "today's assignments", check missing assignments and do at least 1-2 of those. Keep a list of assignments in a planner or some "to do list". If checking Seesaw...don't forget to keep scrolling down, or you might miss some.

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.
SEL advances educational equity and excellence through authentic school-family-community partnerships to establish learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships, rigorous and meaningful curriculum and instruction, and ongoing evaluation. SEL can help address various forms of inequity and empower young people and adults to co-create thriving schools and contribute to safe, healthy, and just communities. CASEL.org
At Middleton, students not only receive academic instruction, but also direct and indirect instruction in Social Emotional Learning. We will be focusing on these Core Competencies:
Self-Awareness---Self-Management (Regulation)---Social Awareness---Relationships---Responsible Decision Making
A parent or guardian is their child’s most important teacher and advocate. A child is likely to succeed and thrive in school and in every other aspect of life when he or she is unconditionally loved and supported by adults who are there consistently.
A parent also knows their child best which is why it is important that parents intentionally engage with children to build on strengths and nurture challenges. Whether you’re singing lullabies in your home language, playing together, making a meal, taking care of a sibling or pet, telling family histories, reliving treasured memories, sharing memes, and learning your child’s favorite new dance, your child is learning.
Now that you’re being asked to take a formal role in their academic learning you may be feeling overwhelmed. Be open and honest with your child’s teachers and school about the challenges of distance learning you may be facing so that you can work together on flexible solutions.
You don’t need to be an expert in the content your child is learning. Below are some things you can do to partner with them in their learning.
Ask questions to help them think through their work:
Getting started: Where can you begin? What do you know? What do you need to find out? How can you get the information?
While working: How can you organize the information? What do you need to do next?
Reflecting: What did you try that didn’t work? Has the question (if there is one) been answered? How do you know?
Extending: Can you explain it differently? Tell me more.
When content is difficult or unfamiliar focus on the students’ efforts to learn rather than sharing your own difficulties or frustrations with subject matter.
When students are stuck, provide feedback on the strategies they can use to solve problems.
Video: Three ways parents can instill a growth mindset.
Recognize your own mindset: Be mindful of your own thinking and of the messages you send with your words and actions.
Praise the process: Praising kids for being smart suggests that innate talent is the reason for success, while focusing on the process helps them see how their effort leads to success.
Model learning from failure: When parents talk positively about making mistakes, kids start to think of mistakes as a natural part of the learning process.

Parents and caregivers, we recognize the challenges that distance learning brings to students and you as their families. For many it was a struggle to get through last spring, let alone thinking about doing this long-term. Every part of our Middleton School Family is trying to navigate the "hybrid" waters right now, so please know that you are not alone and we truly are in this together. Unfortunately, there are no experts in this right now, however there are a lot of resources out there that we are trying to tap into as we try to support students in their school success. It is so important that we keep in close communication and partner with one another so we can identify barriers and ways to address those barriers. Here are some things that you can do:
Practice good self-care. We are not effective in our problem solving when we are not in a good head space emotionally and physically.
Lean on others for support and advice. It is okay to admit that distance learning is a struggle. For most of us, we did not intend to go into "home-schooling" If you can't find advice, you can most likely find people to "normalize it for you".
Keep in close communication with your child's teacher to identify needs
Consider reaching out to someone on our Building Mental Health Team for consultation. We truly want to help.

Okay, so now that we have had our transition week and our 1st official first day of both "in-person" and "distance learning", you might be all over the board with how you and/or your children are coping with this new way of school. There will no doubt be a longer adjustment period than normal and a whole lot of stress that comes along with it. The most important thing we can do as humans is to stay regulated (calm and rationale). Calmer heads do prevail! This is easier said than done. As a parent of two teenagers, I wish I would have known more about how their brain works as well as mine when we are in different brain states.. I encourage you to take time and watch this video by the renowned scientist, Dr. Dan Seigel to help yourself and/or your child come back regulation when the lid has been flipped!

Welcome back to the new school year. We know there are many mixed feelings as we transition back to a new way of teaching and learning. Please know we are here to support your child's social/emotional well-being and want to partner with you in helping your family adjust to all of the changes that will be taking place. We also look forward to learning about all of the resilient qualities and positive skill sets your child and your family bring to our Middleton School Family.
For those new to Middleton, we want to extend a warm welcome and please know we are here for you as you navigate all there is to learn about our school, and the Woodbury community as a whole. We are lucky to have you join us!
As human beings, we are resilient, resourceful and created to be in connection with those around us. As Middleton Mustangs, we want to be here for one another as we explore, experience, prevail and at times struggle through this Covid 19 life-storm that just won't go away...YET! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need support. Asking for help is one of the best ways to be resilient!
Please take time to read past entries as they provide helpful resources in helping to parent your children during these times...
Parents and Caretakers...You did it! You survived "distance learning." However, for most of us, it was not without a toll. Many families are burned out and some have gone through traumatic circumstances over the last couple of months. For some, relationships have been strengthened, and for some they have been taxed. We hope you take this summer break as an opportunity to repair, restore, refuel and get everyone in your family system back regulated again. Thank you for partnering with us during this very difficult, yet in many aspects rewarding time.
Here are some resources that might help fill up your life oxygen tanks over the summer! Take good care and we hope to see you in the fall.

Parents and Caregivers...congratulations on getting to this stage of the journey. I imagine it has been an emotional rollercoaster for most, if not all. And, if you are like me there were days where you felt absolutely burned out, thinking that you couldn't survive another day of this. Well, we are still standing(or at least sitting) and we can get through the final two weeks together. Here are some things that I have gleamed from the experts out there (COVID19 novices themselves), in addition to some of my own thoughts:
Continue to put on your own oxygen mask. Self-care is crucial right now, even if it means going into the bathroom or closet (insert escape place) to take a few deep breaths and get yourself together. You may be witness to your children losing steam at this point. They need their "adults" to help fuel them and get them to the finish line.
Pick your battles and avoid power struggles. Dr. Ross Green: Lives in the Balance has a plan A, plan B and plan C approach for addressing stressful situations that come up in parenting.
Plan A involves controlling the situation and making demands (forcing your will).
Plan B involves identifying unsolved problems and engaging in "collaborative problem-solving" with your children.
Finally, Plan C involves tabling the issue for the short term. This applies to certain school work, chores, and other family responsibilities that cause the most intense conflict and might speak to a skill deficit of your child.
Relationships and the mental health of your family is most important right now. Try to find a balance of work, rest and fun. Getting outside and moving about is so beneficial for all right now. Whether it is through art, music, exercise, family walks, reading for enjoyment, "healthy screen time", family meals, board games (the list goes on and on), find ways to fill up your buckets daily individually and as a family.
I am under the belief that if we could do a distance learning on-line support group, there would be a ton of "co-miserating" going on. Oh what a challenge it is to keep up with our every day "new normal" while at the same time living up to expectations of what others are doing in their "home school teacher" role or our perceptions of what those expectations are. Sometimes it helps to hear about how "others" are succeeding or surviving and then other times it leads to us holding up that comparison bar that does not necessarily help our self-esteem as a parent. Here are a couple of resources that might help give yourself permission to have "emotional weather" and learn how to weather some of the storms that come your way on a daily basis:

Responding to Disruptive Younger Children at Home: Conscious Discipline
Middleton Families...we have so much empathy for what you must be going through at home right now. It has been just under a month since the kids have been in school. Over the past few weeks, your family has had to adjust to so many things and this CoVid19 life-storm has no doubt added stress to your lives. You could have never predicted having to do "distance learning"; being both the caregiver and homeschool teacher at the same time (while for many also having to work remotely from home). Know that whatever feelings this brings out in your family is normal and those feelings probably change all throughout the day every day. If feelings were like the weather, there would be a lot of weather patterns a brewing on a daily basis!
As members of your "school family" we want to support you in anyway we can. Here are some resources for you to help keep your children calm and regulated so they can focus and do their best learning under these challenging circumstance. Of course, being calm and regulated ourselves is key...imagine putting on your own oxygen mask first in order to help others!
Conscious Discipline: Covid 19: 5 Helpful Responses for Families:
Zones of Regulation: At Middleton, many of the students are familiar with the language used in this curriculum. They learn that all feeling zones are okay, but we do our best learning and problem solving when we are in the "green zone." Although it is normal to go in and out of the zones throughout the day, we can use "green zone" strategies to calm ourselves down, cheer ourselves up and/or give us more positive energy. As regulating partners, it is important that we recognize our own feeling zones and try to remain in the green zone as much as possible. Using this language at home might help your family.

Children need structure and predictability in order to feel safe and regulated( able to manage their brains and bodies). Keeping a daily structure for children is a crucial way to keep kids feeling safe, calm, and busy. This can include:
Keeping the same wake and sleep schedule as if school was in session.
Having clear expectations for what your child will do during the day.
Having a visual schedule can be especially helpful in keeping a kid’s day structured and predictable.
Giving them frequent brain breaks...(every 20 -30 minutes is ideal while in a work session). Ideally kids would be doing some type of movement, relaxation or creative activity during these breaks. It is tempting to let them play video games, but more screen time doesn't usually help the brain be at its best for continued learning. Want to learn more about this? Check out Erin Walsh to hear about the positives and negatives of screen time and social media.
