To help ease the stress this can bring, the Center For Family Wellness in Duluth has created a free online course for families called "Supporting Emotional Resilience While Distance Learning.”
Erin Therrien, a therapist who create the course, explained that it is organized into five to ten minute lessons on a variety of topics, including: managing expectations, staying connected and close and providing praise.
“We wanted the lessons to be really brief because we know parents are short on time,” Therrien said. “They give you a hand-out and some actionable tools to practice at the end of them.”
Therrien said she was inspired to put the course together after she heard that the Duluth School District would be continuing their distance learning model until January 21st. Her hope is that it provides parents and guardians with tips to improve distance learning for their children and themselves.
“We just really want to support our community and for our private practice, we want to be more than just a therapy practice. We want to be a hub for caregivers and young children in the Twin Ports community,” Therrien said.
According to Therrien, parents and guardians have begun taking the free online course. She recommends taking it as a couple or with a close friend who is also a parent.
“You can really talk about the things we provide as far as brain development information and the tools and strategies,” Therrien said. “We want parents to know that they are not alone.”
