"The Distance Learning Playbook for Parents is brilliant and timely. The tips in the book are fabulous—what every parent needs. Every educator should be recommending that parents get it."
Dr. Michele Borba, Parenting expert and author of "UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World"
“The Distance Learning Playbook for Parents is an amazing book. As a parent of a 4-year-old and a 9-year-old, I now feel equipped to handle the challenges that distance learning presents. This book gives me the tools to develop routines and strategies I can use to help my children in their distance learning process. I was feeling lost and stressed out about how I was going to handle the school year. Now I feel empowered, and I understand how I'm going to tackle the upcoming year.”
Farrah Lin, Parent
“In a time of uncertainty, parents need to feel encouraged and validated. This resource does exactly that. Families need to understand that distance learning is not going to damage our children’s education. Our children will succeed as long as parents, teachers, and students communicate and work together. We are not in this alone. We must remember to take care of ourselves so that we can be supportive and helpful to our children.”
Sylvia Porras, Parent
"If you want to be a Jedi master of distance learning, read this book! It’s a guide for mental strength, practical know-how, and social-emotional support. This is the only pandemic parenting book you’ll need, and I’m telling all my parent friends about it."
Rachel Simmons, author and Good Morning America parenting expert
"The Distance Learning Playbook for Parents isn’t just for parents. It’s for older siblings and all caregivers, too. Even teachers can gain knowledge from this book! It leads you down a path of understanding from the perspective of children and teachers, and advises parents to be compassionate during this strange time of distance learning. Every parent across America should buy this book—it can help you make a step- by-step plan for your own household while your student is learning virtually."
Taylor Pittman, 17-year old student and big sister to a 6-year old brother, New Orleans, LA
