\u201cIt\u2019s only Day 2 of home school and we are already going crazy!\u201d -Parent of child with special needs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this unprecedented time of school closures, social distancing, and fears of the coronavirus, parents are scrambling for ways to support their children\u2019s social and emotional health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a parent, you may be wondering \u201cHow do I support my child, calm her fears, and maintain some sense of normalcy during a highly abnormal time?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are a parent of a child with special needs, you may be concerned about managing your child\u2019s social-emotional and behavioral reactions to the big change in their routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All kids (and adults!) profit from structure, predictability, and routines during times of uncertainty. Younger children, children with special needs, and children experiencing high levels of situational anxiety during this time may need structure even more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As co-creators of Make it Stick Parenting, we help parents teach their children social-emotional and behavioral self regulation through everyday activities at home. We are offering up this short free three-video series on how to set the stage for a more calm, supportive home environment during school closures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We invite you to listen, download the tools, and tailor to your personal situation. If something resonates and you want to try it, great! If something doesn\u2019t seem to fit for your family or situation, then adapt as needed. Everyone\u2019s situation is unique and there is no \u201cone right way\u201d to parent in this time. There are some basic guiding principles, however that may help you keep calm, support your child where they are and make the most of this time with your children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
