A Message to Families During COVID-19 From a Stanford Educator
|
"For families concerned that their children are missing out on academic content, remember that at a time like this, less is more. I encourage you to broaden your definition of learning and focus on playtime, downtime, and family time."
—
Denise Pope, PhD, Thrive Global
|
|
"At some point, you will get on each others’ nerves. Parallel play works well in these times, i.e. be in the same room but let everyone do their own thing. Come together for a meal, clean that meal up together, and then let folks go their separate ways."
