Home Bound
Whether you've always been home with your little ones, just started working/caring from home, or have become an essential worker... THINGS ARE DIFFERENT!
Food may be different, routine is different, going out is different, connecting and caring are different.
What's not different are some of the our needs.
We need CONNECTION, UNDERSTANDING, VALUE, and LOVE. We need POWER, CONTROL,TRUST RESPECT, SPACE, and MOVEMENT.
Listen to your bodies. If you or your child needs a break, take it. Children are missing their friends, family, and connections. This is real and important!!
When my child says NO, I'M NOT GOING TO!! It's not about the task at hand, it's about him finding control in a world that feels out of control right now. Where can I give him control in his day? This is the same for us too!! LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!! Slow down when you can, take in the opportunities this virus has provided us, and do what you can to support YOU. We have to put "our on mask first" in order to take care of others. Now is the time.
Need help!! Reach out at risechild.com.
