Be flexible. While it is important to maintain a routine, making time to connect with your family and to be outdoors is critical. Remember that learning can take place in any activity. Teens may be utilizing social media to connect virtually with friends, or coping through video games and youtube/movies/TV.

Cut yourself a break. We are all figuring this out together. Don't be too hard on yourself and make time for self-care. It's important to model healthy coping strategies for your child.
