Did you know that ....when you show people compassion your body produces more oxytocin. A warm smile, friendly gesture, or affirmative body signal to another person actually triggers your body to produce more Oxytocin, causing a chemical reaction in your body that actually motivates you to be MORE compassionate. Now you can see why starting off your day with a positive attitude towards others makes it easier to continue doing so for the rest of the day.
During this time of uncertainty, your children are looking to you for reassurance that things will be okay. Although it is true that routines and schedules create predictability, which can make children feel safe, there will be days at home where it’s just too difficult to stick with the routines and schedules. That is okay. If you can’t finish the assigned math because your family decides to bake cookies, watch a movie, read a book together, or play a board game, that is okay! If everyone in your house is feeling stressed, and doing math will add to that stress, don’t do the math today!
Remember that how your child(ren) felt during this time will stay with them much longer than what they did. Patience, love, encouragement, and COMPASSION are the most important things you can give them right now.
