[quote=Anonymous]As a please parent your kid person - and I was this way prior to the pandemic too. If your kid comes into my home and breaks shit and you and the kid don’t care (obviously not toddlers) then you aren’t parenting your kid.  It doesn’t mean getting them to do DL it means getting them to be happy, to deal w the situation at hand, to get them to learn something (omg maybe not grade level but something).

It means saying maybe my kid won’t do specials because it’s too mucus. Maybe I ask the teacher for extra assignments because that works for my kid.  Having a toy for your kid to play w when they need a distraction (but teaching your kid to do it off camera). Asking the teacher if you can do a drive by so your kid can see them in real life (some kids love this and some don’t).

The parents who are going to say it’s a snow day and skip work and school (the horror) and just play a that’s parenting too.

DL sucks - no child should do it well - but reminding your kid that they are amazing for doing this, being strong. That’s parenting.[/quote]
