Parent Resources for Student Learning during COVID 19

First and foremost, as a parent, it is not your responsibility to be the teacher. It is helpful for you to encourage your child to continue exploring questions and keep up a reading practice. Support them as they attempt to solve problems- but it is most important that you provide them space to connect, feel, wonder, try, and find refuge in these uncertain times.

It means taking time every day to talk with your child, read with your child, and sing with your child. These simple activities ARE learning activities.

It’s also helpful, if you haven’t already, to create a flexible but predictable routine.

What time to wake up?   What time to go to bed?

When are meals?

When is it time to do schoolwork?

When is it time to play?

When (and how long) is screentime – tablets, computers, and TV?

Developing a routine (and looking forward to tomorrow’s plans at bedtime) helps build a psychological sense of safety for children.
