Tip of the week:

Work with your child to create a simple plan for their at-home days. Collaboratively set expectations for how the day will go and identify strategies they can use when they feel frustrated or need support.

For example:

• “I will work independently, but if I need help, I will put my stuffie next to the computer.”

• “If I feel frustrated, I can get some fresh air, drink water, or grab a snack.”

• “If I need a break, I will let an adult know and take a few minutes to reset.”

When kids help create the plan, they are more likely to understand the expectations, communicate their needs, and feel confident managing their day.
