Tips: -Practice hand washing and social distancing -Model collective and community thinking for your kids (this is how we teach valuable lessons about entitlement and privilege to our kids wo lecturing) -Refuse to take part in future tripping -Focus on this moment and the next right step -It’s smart to plan and prepare but don’t obsess and go overboard -Paper towels and Kleenex can be used for tp if it comes to that and it isn’t a life or death situation if you have to wipe without the Charmin. - TURN OFF THE ALL DAY NEWS FEED -Have a news discipline and only check once a day to keep yourself informed.
