Teachers:
- Research additional ways to teach a hard to learn a skill
- Find additional content to supplement textbook material
- Expand your network

- Develop or expand something of interest outside of your profession
- Be flexible
- Laugh, eat and love
Parents:
- Pull out those photo albums or old photos and share with the children
- Tell stories about ancestors
- Facetime/Zoom,
an , etc. family you have not spoken to in recent times - Create Pen Pal or EPal friendships
