Here's a quick message to encourage all the parents out there who are coping with the wake of COVID-19:

Please be kind to yourself. You don't have to be the best parent right now. You don't have to be the best educator right now. It's okay to let your kids play. Bake cookies. Watch movies. Enjoy time together. What matters most is that you show up for each other and that your kids feel safe, seen, soothed, and secure. We can be there for our kids, but we can't do that if we're not showing up for ourselves and being hard on ourselves.
