Here’s why:
1-Children with behavioral issues have a difficult time focusing on a daily task, therefore parents need daily support. It's not mandated that teachers provide (live interactions) in NYC, except for therapy sessions.
2-1 in 10 adults and children experience Mental Health challenges serious enough to affect functioning in work, family, and school life.
This Quarantine will affect parents trying to manage their own personal needs alone with the needs of their youngsters.
3-Environmental stress
Small apartments (limited space), noisy neighbors (loud music), and uncertainties such as food, shelter, finance.
Parents need support during this unpredictable time. Don't assume all is well because no one is complaining. Check-in!
