⭐️ Something Quick to Read: Positive Parent Contacts during Distance Learning
I subscribe to a lot of blogs. This article comes at you from Dave Stuart, Jr. He's a high-school World History/English teacher and the best selling author of These 6 Things.  There are other articles he's written that you may enjoy - but I liked this one about positive parent contacts.  
I've always had a love/hate relationship with parents.  I don't mean it THAT way....  It was my anxiety.  I'd do anything to avoid difficult conversations. (And yes, I know difficult conversations are unavoidable in life.🤭)  As soon as I started teaching, of my coping mechanisms was to quickly build strong positive connections with parents.  I used frequent, positive communication, welcomed in countless volunteers, sent home positive notes, and anything else I could think of.  It was my hope this investment would pay off when bumps in the road happened.  
Well, truthfully - way, deep down I hoped my proactive ideas would prevent bumps from happening.  Ha!
Bottom line - what started off as a selfish coping mechanism for me as I struggled with my incessent worry - turned into a great practice in my career.  I'm not talking about rocket science, here! It was much easier to talk about a child's struggle with behavior, or independence, or responsibility if I already had a positive rapport with his or her parents.  
I think that's why this particular article resonated with me.  Perhaps this or some of his other articles will be useful to you.  
The article itself is probably shorter than what I wrote here! 😂
