Millions of parents are trying to juggle working from home or facing an uncertain job future while their children are home from school for the freubl future as well. I am welcoming anna from life unscripted to the nine. I describe my days as higher highs and lower lows, i get more frustrated over the Little Things but find joy and pleasure over the Little Things. Is that appropriate . Yes. What is confusing is when we are feeling more than one feeling at the same time. We are feeling stress and worry but also noticing gratitude. It can be feel like high highs and low lows. It is an odd experience to have. I heard from so many parents when the School Closure was announced, wie we can get through this but when the governor said school may not start until the end of the year, a lot of adults are in limbo, how can that with more frustrating.

Their school day looks nothing like it would if they were with their teacher but there is a semblance of a schedule. We have time to be outside playing, we have time for creativity and writing letters for people. Things that use their skills with writing and reading and spelling. I think that there are parents that have a very ridged schedule and to them that may feel grouping but its more important to Pay Attention and tune into what our children needs. If they need structure maybe its an opportunity to expand their emotional vocabulary and talk to them about what to do when things are not known, its about being able to slow down and tune into their emotional needs.

When we are buying into the fear based thinking that is is when we see more irrational exaggerated big responses that are not necessarily warranted. Slowg down and recognizing that you can feel afraid and thats ahealthy feeling but when you are acting afraid, thats when we are seeing people not being compassionate or grabbing the last role of toilet paper. Its that self defense or self protective phase which is not going to protect us, we need compassion and the ability to stay connected even when we are practicing social distancing. Some people find that the Current Situation brings up previous trauma that they thought that they worked through but they are going back to those difficult times in their lives. Is that typical.

It does not mean that the work you have done far is dpon, it means you have this opportunity to choose what you do with it. Choose how it will define you, there is so much unknown, we cannot choose a lot but we can choose how we respond and respond with compassion and we are doing work we thought we had already done.
