At-Home Learning Tips
Take On the Joyful Challenge of Parenting Today
The national closure of schools and the loss of the eight-plus hours of childcare and education that schools provided for five days a week has effectively turned parenting into a round-the-clock task, in addition to parents’ jobs, daily routines and household chores. Rather than imposing, try letting your child lead their routine and being flexible as their interests wax and wane. Read about how other parents are managing their new realities here.
