It’s been an extremely challenging time for teachers who have moved from classroom teaching to online teaching while also trying to balance family life when spouses and children are also working and learning in the home. In this episode, Dr. Bethanie Hansen talks to Dr. Lisset Pickens, a professor at American Public University and licensed professional counselor about managing work-life balance and managing these new stressors. Learn about the importance of establishing distinct learning and work spaces in the home and the need to set boundaries so it’s clear when work and school time is over and the “family button” gets turned back on. Also hear recommendations for self-care, learning to say no so you don’t overextend yourself, and seeking ways to be creative with your family during the pandemic.
