Try to navigate kids through procrastination by not leaving the thing that they dread to tackle last.
Intervene during the planning stage, rather than close to the end of a project. This can lead to a lot of frustration between child and parent, Platzer explained.
Instead, let them learn from them, and fight the urge to say, \"That's wrong. Do that again.\"
\"The kids feel that and then they feel undermined,\" Freireich said.
Both socializing and homework are now done online. Try establishing family technology rules. If it's dinner time for example -- then everybody in the family, parents included, have to put devices down.
Studying paired with remote learning also equals anxiety. On March 4, Dr. Stephanie Samar, a clinical psychologist at the Mood Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute, told \"GMA\" that we are still experiencing what she called \"a mental health crisis.\"
Samar offered tips on how parents can help children navigate through stress during the pandemic and in relation to online schooling. Read those tips here.
