Remote Schooling Tips for Parents

The expectations placed on parents are greater than ever before. In addition to supporting children through remote schooling, many parents are juggling full time jobs, caring for younger siblings who require attention, or having to provide one-on-one support to children with special needs.

Our kids are also being challenged with this unprecedented shift to online learning. While remote schooling is necessary right now, it is obviously not the ideal learning environment for most children. Dr. Suzi Naguib and the Sunfield Center team compiled a set of research-informed recommendations for parents who are assisting their elementary students with remote schooling. These recommendations, when applied consistently, will help parents foster a supportive and nurturing environment and make learning easier.
