Here are some additional resources to help manage stress and anxiety, both generally and as it relates to COVID-19. Please remember that practicing whole-personal wellness, focusing on what you can control, and keeping a routine are proactive measures to reduce stress and anxiety. If you are struggling to regulate or make sense of your concerns, please arrange a time to visit with me.
Parents, be sure to contact me about information relating to resources, strategies, and support to help your children and families during this time. Please refer to this page for helpful content and inspiration.
Develop a routine for your family with a designated time for learning activities. Students are active learners and can be a part of this process. Empower them to take charge of their learning, and it will be more successful!
We also encourage you to set up a “workspace” for your child for activities requiring concentration and a quiet environment.
Your child should be able to complete most of the learning activities independently, but there may be times when your child has questions. We also understand that the learning activities may be confusing to parents. Therefore, please don’t let any activity stress your child or family. Just skip it, try another one, and reach out to the teacher for clarification.
If you need help with any of these suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or school counselors. We will gladly help you brainstorm ideas that may work for your family.
