Distance Learning Not Going Well? Hit the Reset Button With These 10 Strategies

Research shows again and again that positive relationships are a buffer for stress. Kids who feel seen and supported by their parents will be able to bounce back from stress easier. Schedule some one-on-one time where you just focus on connecting and enjoying. Don't talk about school, don't have your phone around, just pick a fun activity to do together for 10 to 20 minutes each day. Take a family walk, play a game, do Legos — anything your kid enjoys. This connection lays the foundation for coping when things get stressful.
