HERE
HERE 4@4@WE ARE AGAIN WE ARE STILL STUCK AT HOME AND IT CAN BE VERY CHALLENGING AND
LONELY TIME FOR ADULTS AND
CHILDREN ALIKE. WE WANT TO SAY
GOOD MORNING DR. MATTHEW CLARK
THANKS FOR BEING HERE SIR 4@GOO
MORNING. THANK YOU. SO HOW DO
WE TEACH 4@4@OUR KIDS AND 4@HOW
FIND OURSELVES FOR THAT MATTER.
YOU KNOW 4@THE IMPORTANCE OF SE
CARE AND 4@ALSO FRIENDSHIPS
FRIENDSHIPS RIGHT NOW ARE VERY
RIGHT. YES. AND I THINK WHAT'S
KEY IS REMEMBER IT'S 4@IT'S
SOCIAL DISTANCING NOT SOCIAL
ISOLATION 4@THAT WE HAVE TO STA
CONNECTED EVEN THOUGH EVEN LIKE
THE WAY YOU AND I ARE
CONNECTING RIGHT NOW ISN'T WHAT
WE USED TO BE ABLE TO 4@DO AND
FEELS STRANGE OR ABNORMAL BUT
IT'S IT'S IMPORTANT TO STAY
CONNECTED WITH EACH OTHER
DURING TH4@IS TIME. SO WHAT'S T
BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN THAT 4@4@TO
CHILDREN AND SAYING IT'S OK
IT'S STILL IT WILL
COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR FRIENDS
IF YO4@U CAN'T BE TOGETHER
PHYSICALLY RIGHT. YEAH. AND I
THINK YOU KNOW KIDS AT FIRST 4@
THEY MIGHT BE A LITTLE NOT TOO
KEEN ON THE IDEA OF TRYING 4@BU
JUST KIND OF ASSISTING THEM.
I'VE HAD PARENTS WHO HAVE KIDS
LIKE SIT IN THEIR LAP AND JUST
KIND OF GUIDE THEM WITH A KIND
OF GIVE THEM SOME POSITIVE 4@
ENCOURAGEMENT IF THEY SEE YOU
INTERACTING WITH GRANDPA AND
GRANDMA THIS WAY TO KIND OF
CATCH ON TO BE BE MORE APT TO
TRY IT JUST BEING PATIENT WITH
THEM AND HELPING THEM GET USED
TO THE NEW TEMPORARY 4@NORMAL.
YEAH WELL IT'S LET'S HOPE IT IS
TEMPORARY. AND YOU BROUGHT UP A
GOOD POINT TOO ABOUT BEING A
ROLE MODEL FOR YOUR CHILD AND
SO IF IF THEY SEE YOU 4@KNOW
ZOOMING WITH THE GRANDPARENTS
OR SOMETHING YOU THINK THAT
WOULD BE MORE A CHILD MAYBE
MORE 4@INTERESTED IN DOING THE
SAME KIND OF THING. YES. AND 4@
AND SPEAKING HIGHLY ABOUT IT
NOT BEING NEGATIVE OR
DISCOURAGING ABOUT IT. AND I
THINK ALSO TO GIVE KIDS OUTSIDE
AND IN FACT PARENTS WHO 4@THEY'
BE ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET
AND THE OTHER FAMILY ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET 4@KIND
OF SETTING UP THEIR LITTLE
CHAIRS AND WAVING AND TALKING
TO EACH OTHER YOU KNOW JUST
KIND OF RUNNING AROUND OR
PLAYING PLAYING 4@ON OPPOSITE
SIDES OF THE STREET BUT STILL
INTERACTING TOGETHER GOOFING
AROUND AND DOING MAYBE LIKE
SIDEWALK CHALK ON YOUR DRIVEWAY
SIDEWALK CHALK IN THEIR
DRIVEWAY ALL AT THE SAME TIME
STAYING CONNECTED BUT JUST NOT
IN CLOSE PROXIMITY BECAUSE WE
STILL WANT TO MAINTAIN THAT
SOCIAL DIS4@TANCING AS YOU KNOW
WE ARE TRYING TO DO ANYTHING
ELSE SO PARENTS SHOULD BE AWARE
OF. WELL I THINK TO OUR OWN 4@
LIKE FEELING DOWN AND STRESSED
OUT AND THAT WE NEED TO STAY
CONNECTED SOMETIMES WHEN WE'RE
FEELING STRESSED OUT LIKE
WORKING FROM HOME DURING 4@THE
SCHOOLING TO THAT WE MIGHT FEEL
KIND OF DRAINED AND STRESSED
OUT 4@AND THAT WE HAVE TO STAY
CONNECTED WITH EACH OTHER. I
MEAN I KNOW SOME SOME PEOPLE
ARE DOING LIKE THEIR LITTLE
MARTINI NIGHT SO THEIR WINE
NIGHTS 4@PLAYING DMD ONLINE LIK
THIS OR 4@YOU KNOW JUST MAKING
SURE GOING OUTSIDE AND GOING
FOR BIKE RIDES WITH WITH OTHER
PEOPLE BUT JUST KEEPING THAT
SIX FEET AWAY FROM EACH OTHER
OR IF YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE
WEARING A MASK DURING IT. BUT I
THINK SOMETIMES WHEN WE FEEL
STRESSED OUT WE WANT MAYBE JUST
LAY IN BED OR JUST SIT AT HOME
AND WATCH NETFLIX ALL THE TIME
RIGHT AND OUR BRAINS ARE WIRED
THAT WE NEED THAT CONNECTION.
EVEN THOSE 4@OF US ARE KIND OF
LIKE REALLY INTROVERTED THAT WE
NEED STIL4@L THAT SOCIAL
CONNECTION TO KEEP THRIVING AND
KEEP STRONG AND TO KEEP
ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER WELL.
NOW MORE THAN EVER YOU KNOW WE
SAY ALL THE TIME 4@SELF CARE VE
IMPORTANT 4@I THINK A LOT OF
SPIRITUAL ORGANIZATIONS
CHURCHES CLUBS GROUPS 4@THEY'RE
STILL DOING LIKE ONLINE. PEOPLE
ARE ASSUMING THAT BECAUSE WE
CAN'T GET TOGETHER IN PERSON 4@
THAT THINGS AREN'T AVAILABLE.
BUT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE
USED TO GO TO A BR4@OADWAY
THEATER DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE
THAT WE CAN NOW WATCH ONLINE
AND KIND OF EXPERIENCE AS A
COMMUNITY OUR FAMILY WHEN WE 4@
WATCH CHURCH TOGETHER. WE TEXT.
SO NOW WE CAN ALL TALK DURING
CHURCH AND TEXT EACH OTHER
DURING THE TALKS OR AS IT MAKES
IT A LITTLE A LITTLE FUN AT
TIMES. BUT YEAH WELL IT'S A
GREAT IDEA. I WANT TO LET
EVERYONE KNOW WE'VE GOT ALL
INFORMATION ON OUR WEB SITE.
THIRTEEN ON YOUR SIDE DOT COM
THANK
