[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that many families who wanted socialization as the main reason for choosing hybrid are now saying the parts of DL that offer that are a waste of time. To a parent those times may seem unimportant but it’s really some of the kids favorite part of the day. Why would you deny them time to talk with their classmates?[/quote]

For the love of God, in person socialization is what we want. Not this dumb zoom crap! That’s not real![/quote]

But you can't have that either way at school right now, so I don't understand why this is worse than nothing.[/quote]

My kid cried and ran away from DL. DL is worse than nothing for him. [/quote]

hey my riding 1st grade kid did that too in spring K. guess what i’ve done all summer ... talk up DL and get her in a positive mindset and let her know we all wish we could be in school but this is what we do to protect other people right now and one day she will walk into school and greet all her classmates as friends. i’ve tried to focus on the parts that will be okay or good, acknowledge and validate  the parts that won’t be, and remind her it isn’t forever.

Yes, I think this is what they really need more than math or anything else. They need to know that we can be okay and that they will be okay and that we know they will be okay. And that doesn't have to mean that we are jumping up and down about DL or not struggling with how things are, but we can model being resilient despite all the bad.[/quote]

No, it means that my kid will sit this year out.

But you guys have fun with your "resilience".[/quote]

My kid has diagnosed anxiety that is triggered by school. Full on panic attacks and a whole lot of tears most days until an excellent therapist helped us with coping skills. Do you think we should have just let her sit out because it was hard for her?[/quote]

Seriously, they need coping skills and if they don't have them, they need help getting them. Good for you for getting her help.

I didn't make up this resilience stuff for fun. I got it from child development experts.[/quote]

parents can’t teach what they don’t have or know either. Mom is clearly dealing with a lack of resilience herself by her responses, no wonder she can’t teach it to her kid and instead thinks he should just sit out whatever grade this is rather than try. [/quote]
