I Just Can’t EVEN
Personally, I have had some setbacks and stopped posting. I’m stressed about teaching, tutoring, the impact of CoVid. My Mom recently passed from a brief ferocious battle with Cancer so I pulled back.
My mission is to help parents help kids with reading difficulties. I teach, tutor, blog, write online content and raise my family.
We are social distancing and spending a lot of time together. On one of the many car rides our youngest was mocking me. She was recalling the catch phrases I use and she said, “I’m Mommy, and I just can’t even…”
She’s right…I’ve pulled back on the things I enjoy and replaced it with overwhelming worry.
Worry I have for teaching.
Worry I have my children’s learning.
Worry I have for their social emotional needs.
Worry I have for my own social emotional needs.
Worry I have for everyone’s safety and health.
Worry I have for my students, teaching family, and all out staff.
I have never felt this frozen in fear, worry and contemplation. Every decision I make whether it is to send my kids to camp or send my kids to school in the Fall is a bad one.
This blog is to help parents and kids with reading difficulties. I can not even wrap my head around the educational landscape due to CoVid 19. There is so much ambiguity.
Good parenting, good teaching, and how kids read will not change that much.
Join me and make the worrying productive. We have choices, we can choose to be empowered for our kid’s sake. I am changing, “I Just can’t Even,” to “I Just Can,” and will.
I am done pulling back and now it is time to push forward.
