[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach in a Title 1 school. Most families in our school live with extended family so childcare was not an issue for most of them. They all got laptops and hot spots and kits of supplies for each child. We reached out to every parent to ask what else they needed. Most of the absences were due to parenting issues. “Larla doesn’t like to _________.” Go to bed, wake up on time, do Zoom school, do class work, participate in class, etc. so our phone calls basically ended up as parenting sessions.

A few months into the Pandemic, I talked to a school counselor at my kid's school. My child (9) was freaking out at any request, throwing tantrums, hiding out in her room for 23 hours a day because anytime we interacted she was ending up with a consequence. The counselor was really helpful. On her recommendation, I focused on positive parenting, reduced my expectations, focused on a few key things that I required. None of us had parented through a pandemic, or been a kid through a pandemic, or taught through a pandemic.[/quote]
