With many school districts closed and children preparing to participate in schooling from home, this is a stressful time. PCHAS Director of Education Services Gayle Jordan (M.Ed., PSC) is helping families in the PCHAS Foster Care Village navigate these rough waters. Here she shares some tips for other families on the same journey.
Finally, Gayle offers one last piece of advice for parents:
“The days ahead will be different for us all locally and as a nation; maybe even difficult at times. This can also be a time of positive change in the daily routine of our family and education system. For today, don't panic, but do remain positive and prepared. Speak openly to your children to reassure them that everything will be okay, even their learning needs. In this time, slow down to enjoy the things you love most, your people and your time together. Make time to play games, read books, cook, and to learn from each other and authentically connect. We will get through this 'different' time, we will learn from it, and possibly be better for it when the storm passes."
