Today, we’re building on that theme with tools and techniques you can use to ensure your family gets the most out of learning and working from home.      In these videos, Boys Town education specialists explain how to…      Avoid falling into the vacation/weekend mindset when it’s a work/school day. Provide predictability and consistency, and why maintaining routines is a necessity. Encourage kindness, respect, responsibility and other good behaviors. Keep kids reading and know if their books have age-appropriate content.   In just 10 minutes, you’ll gain new insights and have more options to tackle the challenges and problems that come with this “new normal.” A lot has changed in the past few weeks, and there is much uncertainty ahead. But together, we’ll get through this temporary situation and be stronger and more resilient on the other side. Right now, the most important thing is to maintain your family’s physical and emotional health. Shower your kids with love and support, and nurture your relationships. Also, take time for yourself. The more rested and relaxed you are, the happier your home will be.
