A short YouTube message (by Kim Zoller) urging families to perform simple end-of-day check-ins as children return to school during an unusual year (some learning virtually, others returning in-person). The speaker recommends accepting varied feelings from both parents and children, offering support, and emphasizes a simple, compassionate routine to help families during the transition.
So it's that time of year again when kids are going back to school. And this year is like no other year, because some kids might be going back to school at home, learning virtually, while other kids are actually going back to school in person for the first time in many, many months. Some kids may have already started school, while other kids are anticipating the start of school. And so I highly recommend that you take some time at the end of your day to do a family check in and just check in and see how everyone is feeling. Parents and kids alike might be having some very different kinds the feelings about what it means this year to go back to school. And so just check in with each other, accept the feelings as they are, and just let your kids know that you are there to support them no matter what. And here's from me to you, wishing you all a wonderful back to school.
