“Fly me to the moon”

I try to look for teaching moments in everyday situations, now more than ever. For example, we took full advantage of the Spring Pink Moon by viewing it through the telescope and then reading about it. But let’s face it. This whole situation is a big lesson for the children at home, particularly the younger ones. They will watch and learn how us parents act and react in these strange circumstances. After all, developmental psychologists have always known children learn by imitating adults. In essence, we may be inadvertently giving our children their biggest lesson ever, with lasting impact on their lives.
