Back to school in the age of COVID-19<\/h3>\n

Par l'aum\u00f4nier le Ltv Graeme Carruth,<\/strong>
\nCLC(P)<\/p>\n

So here it is! The first week of school. And for better or worse the kids are back in class. It means parents are a little freer to be at work if they have a place to go to. It means our kids can connect again with the friends and classmates they haven\u2019t seen since March – something we know they\u2019ve been craving for ages.<\/p>\n

Of course it\u2019s hardly back to school as usual. There are social distancing directives to observe. People are all masked up. Everything has to be sanitized many times over. Though speaking of sanitizing – our children probably have the cleanest \u2018kid-hands\u2019 in the history of the human race! In short, while we\u2019re enjoying a measure of normal, life no doubt still feels weird. Add to that the highly concerned news coverage this return to class has received.\u00a0 <\/span>So let me ask you Dr. Phil\u2019s famous question: \u201cHow\u2019s it workin\u2019 out for ya?\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps you are among the fortunate of us who have made your peace with the presence of COVID-19 and don\u2019t feel much bothered by your children braving the uncertainties of school in an age of pandemic. If that\u2019s true, then go you! But if you are like many of the rest of us who feel anxious about the prospect of your child(ren) getting too close and personal with classmates who may not share your level of compliance with today\u2019s Corona practices then you might be struggling to cope. After all, aren\u2019t there enough dangers for our kids without an international disease? Certainly! But ironically that may be the very ticket to gaining a leg-up on our anxiety.<\/p>\n

Consider this: as dangerous as COVID-19 is, the likelihood of any one of our children getting it is actually pretty low. In other words, our child(ren) are far less likely to contract COVID-19 than to run afoul of the many other hazards already out there. And let\u2019s face it, ever since we first took our child to kindergarten we have been finding ways to deal with our anxiety for their wellbeing. So maybe we can allow ourselves some confidence that we\u2019ve got this. Just like we have trained our children to watch out for very deadly vehicles and to avoid very deadly drugs and to steer clear of creepy-people situations so we have also trained our children to follow the social practices to protect themselves from COVID-19.<\/p>\n

If you are a spiritual person, you have likely encountered the proverb, \u201cStart your children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.\u201d (Proverbs 22 vs 6). We have been training them since they came into our world; surely we can trust that some of it has sunk in.<\/p>\n

Admittedly our educators feel a need for more and clearer measures to be in place before things actually begin. But their concern reveals their commitment to making sure our children and themselves will be safe in the classroom environment. And while more work on this needs to be done, we can have confidence that each school will be working hard to minimize any risks.<\/p>\n

Our 2020 reality is we do live in a COVID-19 world. It\u2019s not going away so we need to find ways to live well amid its presence. The good news is, we are well-practised at looking after our children and preparing them for the hazards of life. COVID-19, while dangerous, is just the newest factor in our child-training routine of readying them for life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
