Bonus List Poem: Stuff My Kid Learns in Online School

Patience

Resilience

Grit

That Strong Emotions Come

That Strong Emotions Go

That He Can Control His Own Reactions

That He Can’t Control Other People’s Reactions

That His Online Peeps All Have Better Days and Worse Days (Moments)

That Sometimes He Feels Like the Slowest One

And Sometimes He Feels Like He’s Fastest and Waiting For Everyone Else

It Feels Better to Be Kind No Matter What

Coloring is Fun

Simon Says is Fun

Sharing Screens and Scribbling is Fun

Connection is Fun

Safety Comes First in Our Family

We Can be Safe and Still Have a Good Time 

We’re Gonna Keep Going
