Part 2, Keeping our Words Gold instead of Cold during Stressful Times
Living with our new normal brings us together with our kids for longer durations of time. We are coping and learning together. At times, our parent brains might be in survival mode trying to juggle everything. What we say, and how we say it - can create the difference between frustration and encouragement for both parents and learners as we adjust to school online. Yet, with just a little thoughtfulness, words of correction can occur in "gold" ways when remembering to breathe, press pause, and use "I" statements. See the attached slides to assist with providing "gold" moment corrections. Click below to learn more.
