The following information is important to take into consideration during your time away from school. We are here to assist them in any way we can.
During this difficult time, it is important to remember the following:
take breaks
get plenty of sleep
exercise
eat well
stay connected to friends and family
stay positive
Other things parents can do to support their children include (according to the CDC):
Take time to talk with them about the COVID-19 outbreak. Answer questions and share facts in a way that children can understand.
Reassure our children that they are safe. Let them know it is okay if they feel upset. Share with them how we deal with our own stress so that they can learn how to cope from us.
Limit our children’s exposure to media coverage. Children may misinterpret what they hear and can be frightened about something they do not understand.
Help our children to maintain a sense of structure, especially for those young people whose schools have closed and extracurriculars have been put on hold.
We are here to help and are available via email and Google hangouts.
