[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else have young kids who are dreading starting "school" tomorrow? 
Any changes planned in the way you manage or participate? 
Looking for helpful ideas. [/quote]

Did anything interesting happen over break your kid might be excited to share with the class - Did Santa bring an exciting toy? Did she watch a funny new movie or did he lose a tooth? I’m trying to get my younger DC pumped for tomorrow using that as a tactic (similar to what we’d do during non-covid times after holiday break).

Getting excited about the rest of the week will be another story, but one day at a time.[/quote]

Do NOT ask kids if Santa brought a toy.  Way to alienate kids whose families don't have a lot of resources (especially given the financial state of many people) while also making it awkward for kids who don't celebrate Christmas,  while simultaneously reminding people that they may not have had the chance to see family or that their family went against public health guidelines to visit family outside their home.

Little kids are going to talk about what they did (or received) over the break, just like they have for generations.  [/quote]
