Ep. 135: Advice & Ideas from Teachers During COVID-19

<p><strong><a href= "https://sunshine-parenting.com/ep-135-advice-ideas-teachers-covid-19" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Show notes & links.</a></strong></p> <p>I've spent the past weeks talking with youth development experts who are sharing their advice and encouragement for parents during this crazy time of social distancing, sheltering at home, or what I like to now call "Iso for the Rona" (the Australian term for "Isolation for the Coronavirus" that I learned from my email friend Vicki).  Over the next several episodes, I'll be sharing excerpts from those interviews, as well as links to the resources and ideas my guests shared.</p> <p>I'm kicking off this series with two chats with teachers - one current high school teacher and one former sixth grade teacher. Both of them have a lot of experience working with and teaching kids, and they have some great ideas for parents who are new to "teaching" and now have your kids at home full time. I hope our chats bring you some encouragement during this challenging time!</p> <p>Please continue to reach out to me with your feedback, questions, and ideas!</p> <p>Thank you for joining me in raising kids who become thriving adults.</p> <p><img class="alignnone wp-image-7327 size-medium" src= "https://sunshine-parenting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/SP-Blue-Sig-300x66.png" alt="" width="300" height="66" /></p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-7603 alignnone" src= "https://sunshine-parenting.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/audreycirclesmall.png" alt="" width="144" height="144" /></p> <h2>Gretchen Monke: High school English teacher at Live Oak High School (Morgan Hill, CA) who's now teaching remotely while stay home orders are in place for COVID-19.</h2> <p>What do high school kids need from us during this time? That's the question I ask - and Gretchen answers - in our chat. Gretchen offers tips for parents and teachers about the connection kids need during this time. She also offers  her downloadable daily checklist to help kids have the autonomy they want.</p>
