Pick at least two routines which you want to thoughtfully develop during this time out of school. Plan them in detail and adjust as needed, so that these become consistent, calm routines for you and your children. #ParentingInAPandemic

Leave time for healthy play. Children who get regular exercise learn more, sleep better, and are nicer to be around. Find the time for nature, movement, and play. #ParentingInAPandemic

On a regular basis, take time to notice and discuss what is going well in your child’s life. Give more energy and words to noticing good effort, behavior, and learning habits, rather than constantly focusing on the problems or challenges in your child’s life. #Parenting

[Early Learning Foundation @EarlyLearningFo]

Model the importance of learning. Yelling at your child to do his homework, while you park yourself in front of an entertainment device, is not a highly effective strategy. Show your child that you are committed to continuing to learn in your own life. #ParentingInAPandemic

You can start with just one routine. Explain the plan, then model it and practice it. Be consistent, but tweak it when needed. Once you have established your first successful routine, then start to focus on developing the second and build up from there. https://t.co/TlNeuI9sVh

Thoroughly enjoyed this article from @RayDalio on how successful people are those who can go above themselves to see things objectively and manage those things to shape change. Thoughts? https://t.co/UcBJ5VDnXk #inspiration #careeradvice

Parents - what are your thoughts?

Thanks for featuring my bestseller, Stand In My Shoes @Forbes. Teaching kids how to notice the feelings of others and their importance is crucial in developing empathetic children. https://t.co/bHoKHiod4c #parenting #parents #moms #dads #children #kids #family #momchat #dadchat
