Opinion | Suzan Song: Parents have to shift our expectations and learn how to provide children with the emotional scaffolding they need to thrive during these times. - NBCNewsTHINK
Use this time to consider what values are meaningful to your family — perhaps: integrity, accountability, diligence, love, creativity, personal growth, knowledge, appreciation, patience, wisdom, or compassion — and challenge yourselves and children to find ways to enact those values, whether that's participating in the nightly rounds of applause for first responders, or making masks for people who don't have them, or learning a new skill together.
Our children need us to help them grow, and to see how to do so during this pandemic and the resultant social distancing. If we can provide this for the next few months or the next year, we’re priming them for when they do return to school. Then, whatever that return may look like, they’ll have a better chance at feeling emotionally stable and able to manage the challenges.
