Just Four More Months of 2020 —
2021 Is Almost Here!
|
|
Look at this beautiful fall photo! Some of the best months of the year are just around the corner. At Doc411 we are looking forward to the beautiful weather and the holiday seasons.
In many ways, 2020 has been the most challenging year of the last decade. But we are optimistic that 2021 will takes us to new heights. Through the obstacles of the last few months all of us have become stronger and more resilient.
We are so grateful for our association with each of you. Let's make this fall one to remember for all the best reasons!

THE CHALLENGE OF RETURNING
TO SCHOOL OVER ZOOM!
|
|
Schools all over the United States are starting the school year with online classes. This is certainly helping limit the spread of COVID-19. But it comes with its own set of downsides.
Even though the technology to conduct school over our computers would have been unimaginable even 10 years ago, our amazement at what's possible now doesn't keep us from getting "Zoom Fatigue". This is the condition of just not wanting to get another video call, and it can be especially hard on children. So what can we do about it?
According to childhood education experts, the worst thing we can do is try and fix it by forcing them to interact more. It's okay for kids to be sad about not being able to socialize with their friends and attend school in-person. These feelings are natural. Talk to them openly about how they're feeling.
If you can give them any control over the time of their video calls, that can help. The other thing that can help is be sure that there is structure to their calls. It can be even harder for children to know when to unmute and when to ask questions. Make sure that they know when they need to participate.
And, watch for more serious signs of withdrawal or anxiety. When it comes to our children's health, never wait to get help if needed.

KEEPING OUR HEALTH UP
( WHILE THE LEAVES START TO FALL )
|
|
There are a couple of important health things to remember as we enter this last part of the year:
First, the flu season is around the corner. With COVID-19 still around, it's more important than ever to a flu vaccinations. Don't wait. Get your flu shot as soon as it is available. 2020 is not a year to take an unnecessary risk.
Second, keep wearing a mask. By now, we've all heard stories about people getting tested who felt fine and they end up having COVID. That means that they could have been potentially passing it along to others. We may not be the ones who get sick, but wearing a mask protects both us and others. Again, better safe than sorry.
It is important to support small businesses, but we can do that without putting ourselves or others in crowded spaces. When eating at a restaurant, be sure and ask about outside seating.
Lastly, we can focus on healthy breathing. Many of us are still working from home and not commuting like we used to, and this is helping reduce the pollution in the air for everyone. So take advantages of that and stay active by getting outside and getting your heart rate and breathing up in the fresh air.
Also, if you want to work on breathing techniques that can reduce your stress and anxiety, check out the Breathwrk App on iOS. This isn't a paid promotion, just an app that we use and find useful:

On each of the last three Thursdays our team met at Food 4 Less to help someone in need. With so many people out of work, we wanted to help someone out by buying their groceries.
It feels amazing to spend time as a team in service of others.
We will be continuing this program. Be sure to follow @doc411co on Instagram to learn more.
