This year’s first day of school likely looked very different than past years. If your district has any in-person learning, the kiddos are masked up and sitting socially distanced. Most districts across the state of Minnesota are incorporating some form of distance learning into the classroom schedule.
Some kids are full-time distance learning while others are in a hybrid model where they spend some days in the physical classrooms and other days in a virtual classroom. Other kids may be able to go back to school full-time in person.
The beginning of the school year is already a time filled with anxiety. Falling behind or the fear of falling behind can add even more stress. Doctors Park Mental Health Center wants to help your child succeed in the classroom.
No matter what model your child’s school is following, many children struggle with school. It doesn’t have to be that way.
Working with a tutor can give your child individualized plans and one-to-one time to help them succeed.
Last spring, we saw lots of families get frustrated with the complexities of distance learning. Even with improvements to the virtual learning structure, there may still be kids who are not getting the one-to-one time they need.
However, other children may feel they are not being challenged enough in the classroom. We can help these students create a learning plan that fits their individual needs.
One thing we do at Doctors Park is we take the time to get to know your child. We talk about their interests and spend time to determine what they already understand in their classes. This approach helps us put together an individualized plan geared specifically towards your child and their unique learning style.
We want to help bring the fun back to learning and help your child tap into their natural talents.
We understand that in many situations, parents are required to take a more hands-on role in their child’s education and that not all parents can do that. Whether you are helping your child navigate distance learning or trying to help them with homework at the end of the day, it can be difficult.
Many parents are juggling jobs, household chores, other everyday activities, and now, in some cases, distance learning. It’s enough for even the most organized person to stress out about. You and your child are both exhausted right now. And, when the school day ends, you don’t want to be frustrated and stressed over helping your child understand their homework. You just want to spend quality time as a family.
We are here to help! Reach out to Doctors Park Mental Health Center today and let us help your child feel successful and give you back your family time.
