This back-to-"school" season is stretching all of our parenting skills to the max, making us apply our strengths in new and creative ways, demanding that we take a hard look at how we're doing what we're doing, challenging us to optimize and simplify.
You're taking what you already know and making it go farther. A lot farther. So are we. This week, KidsOutAndAbout.com releases The Ultimate Parent Survival Guide to 2020-2021! Here's some of what it contains:
1. NEW: In-Person Learning Resources: Local organizations know parents are going to need options both during the school day and afterward. Our new In-Person Learning Resources Page for 2020-2021 includes school-day clubs, tutoring help, education programs for STEM, arts, and sports, and other local resources. More are being added daily, so check back frequently.
2. Reimagined: Virtual Learning Resources: Online classes from all over North America, plus virtual tutoring, arts education, and more.
3. NEW: Parents-Helping-Parents Community Bulletin Board: Are you hoping to form parent pods for micro-schooling with others in your district? This is a free bulletin board that will help you find other local parents with whom to collaborate and trade. Post what you have or what you need, including child care, curriculum, or tutoring resources. Our Bulletin Board is BRAND NEW, so as I'm writing this, your area's Parent Bulletin Board is BLANK. Instructions to post are here; it takes just a minute to get set up with a free account. Easily edit and take down your listing when it's done. This is going to be one crazy school year, and we all need each other!
The Ultimate Parent Survival Guide also has tips for effective remote learning, what your kids need to know K-12, stuff divorced and separated parents need to do right now, online entertainment that engages your brain, and lists of local COVID-safe activities like hikes, nature centers, and farmers' markets. Please share it with your friends, because you know they need it too.
