I want to thank you for this opportunity to talk to you about
how parenting has been impacted by COVID, and how we’re
entering a new era of parenting in general.

Some tips to share that you can easily do, for yourself and
for your kids. A lot of difficulties have been faced with
technology and the role that it plays. And one of the things I
can encourage you, as a parent, is just to remember the
delicate balance that does exist and to be patient with
yourself.

Here is a pretest to see if you can read and understand this
story.

I know in my own house we have had an exorbitant amount
of screen time, and it can be difficult even after the school
day is done, to find the balance of turning it off. And that
screen fatigue for the kids, you can be like, stop and drop
whatever you’re doing and taking mindful moment breaks.

Always those reminders of breathing.

Click the right answer.

I have had children who literally have found even doing
something of a small practice such as
((Banner: Squeezing Stress Reliever))
squeezing a ball or playdough, completely that pathway from
the brain to their hand, that kinesthetic movement, that they
literally can have a shift in their behavior.

If you’re still having a child who has a hard time with the
virtual school, as we are still in it for a little bit longer, fingers
crossed, is that to help them to focus is doing a quick chair
yoga pose.

Like they can literally have their hands underneath their chair
and just putting their hands down if they want to have a shift.
They can even bring their hands and do a quick little grip.
They can even do what’s called cross-lateral, bilateral fix,
and just take their hands and just put them in. Nobody’s
going to see them, right.

And also, building some DEAR time: Drop Everything And
Read. It’s a time that everyone can pick up something to
read, fifteen or twenty minutes on a weekend. And the kids
also love this time where you can also read something that
you find a pleasure to them.

Don’t talk about school. I cover my ears.

This past year has been a learning curve, for you, for me,
but also the world. And to just show yourself appreciation
and gratitude is the message that I’d like to send you.
