Patience and Grace

Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! Recently, I was asked by a friend what advice they had for parents working with their children at home as they continued their studies through distance learning. My advice was to show patience and grace. Patience and grace for the children doing their best to learn in a new environment. Patience and grace for the teachers who are learning and creating new learning platforms each week as they plan and coordinate in a virtual setting. Patience and grace for YOURSELF as you juggle working from home, taking care of the needs of your family and work with the teachers in this new environment. Please keep in mind that everyone is doing the best they can (including you). There are many questions still to be answered, but one thing I know for sure. We will get through this....together!
