Wednesday message: to the parents of young children:
by Rabbi Amy R. Perlin, D.D., 3/18/2020
You are amazing… and super exhausted.
Fearful, and full of love for your children.
Fearful, and cautious for your parents.
Apprehensive about what all this means for your family’s financial well-being.
You never planned on home schooling.
You never imagined this reality.
But, stop for a second and look at your kids. Savor this special time. Thank God for the noisy house and dirty hands. Realize how incredible you are as you multi-task in a new way, faced with this new reality. Stop and be thankful for what you have for a few moments, before you put on the anxiety of today like a coat on a blizzard cold day.
Know you can do this.
Know you are not alone
Know you are awesome.
