Talking to Teens about the Pandemic: What should I do? -Be frank, give the correct information if asked about the situation. Ensure that the teen understands what is going on and, as much as possible, correct any wrong information.... -Avoid pretending that nothing is going on. Do not minimize the seriousness of the situation. When you are unable to provide answers, admit it. Instead, say that you will get the information and provide answers as soon as possible. Avoid being moralistic. -Avoid banning activities that are not related to the context. Keep to the same routine Routine and a stable family environment will ensure that your child continues to feel safe. As much as possible, keep to the usual home routine; this will reassure your child. If you are required to remain at home for an extended length of time, plan both family and solo activities. Ask for the opinion of your child, it could be very creative. (Source: https://www.quebec.ca//my-child-is-worried-about-the-pand/

TIPS to help your student with online classes: Discuss and establish routine for the school week: This should involve: Getting up, dressed and having breakfast 30 minutes before classes begin.... A dedicated work space set-up somewhere in the home. Sitting on a chair at a table is recommended. Putting cell phone and other devices on "air plane mode" during class time to help with focus. Taking notes during class time to keep on task. Getting up and moving during interval between classes and being active during the lunch break. Taking the time to negotiate the routine will increase your child's ability to succeed with on-line learning. Stay healthy and stay safe, Your PPO
