Remote learning is the pits, and it's not ending anytime soon. Here's how to push through.
Remote learning is difficult, but experts have some tips on channeling your inner teacher.
Set a timer for 10 minutes or so, tell your kid that they’re the teacher and you’re the student, then reenact whatever scenario you were just struggling through. Hopefully, they’ll get a taste of how challenging it can be to teach and you might get a sense of the challenges they’re working through. When the timer is up, you can continue role-playing or they might decide they’re ready to get back to the task at hand, Snyder said.
“Twenty to 25 minutes is a stretch goal for many kids. Some kids can do two minutes,” she said. “Parents can stretch it out a bit at a time. I did 30-second increases for my kids to get to the point of 20 to 25 minutes.”When schools were first canceled, social media was filled with, and lots of parents were totally onboard. Now, not so much.
“You have to know who your child is and what they can handle,” said Sally Tannen, director of the 92Y’s Parenting Center. Don’t beat yourself up about rough patches or fret that if your kid is less than enthused with your efforts, they’re somehow “bad” or falling behind.
