Operation: Parenting 24/7
POOF!
You are your child’s sole teacher. Good luck 🙂
Are you feeling a bit daunted?
Until recently, your children probably went to school and/or daycare. They probably had afterschool activities and playdates. They probably went to the mall…oh, wait, that was our childhood.
And now, it’s all different. Now they are home. ALL. DAY. LONG.
Going a bit mad?
In this Resilience Parenting series, we will attempt to help you decipher how to best fill the role that life has just thrown at you. We’ll write about the meaning of resilience, suggest ideas and resources, address how to stay motivated, and share tricks of the trade from our experience as teachers.
We’ll keep it short and sweet and positive.
All around the world, we are putting our resilience to the test. It’s how we will survive this disaster. From the book, Resilience Parenting:
We must aim to be like bamboo, deeply rooted but also able to flex in the wind. When we are resilient, we are secure yet adaptable. We are connected yet independent. Moreover, if we do ever break under the pressure of the turning seasons, we have the wherewithal to bounce back.
Strength. Adaptability. Recovery.
You are being required now to adapt your lifestyle into a new way of being. Operation: Parenting 24/7. This situation is not all bad! You love those kids. They love you! This is a rare opportunity to get to know more deeply the people you love most in the world, to build memories together, to be a more robust family unit than you ever knew possible.
Show you are resilient and adapt. You can do this. You aren’t just a parent, you are a super parent, a teacher, and the one who buys toilet paper!
This week, we hope to be one more helpful voice in the choir of positive messages amidst all the doom and gloom.
Stay tuned….
