00:00.300 --> 00:01.860
- Isolation is difficult for anybody,

00:01.860 --> 00:04.130
especially in prolonged period of time.

00:04.130 --> 00:07.890
When it comes to kids, it
can maybe be even harder.

00:07.890 --> 00:10.340
The most important thing
that a parent can do

00:10.340 --> 00:13.700
during a time like this is
to take care of themselves.

00:13.700 --> 00:16.720
Children are perceptive, even little ones,

00:16.720 --> 00:18.280
we often don't give them enough credit,

00:18.280 --> 00:20.010
but if they see that their
parents aren't doing well

00:20.010 --> 00:22.260
or they see their parents
are extremely anxious

00:22.260 --> 00:24.330
or just not doing well on a day to day,

00:24.330 --> 00:25.390
sometimes it can affect them.

00:25.390 --> 00:28.060
So taking care of yourself
and getting yourself help

00:28.060 --> 00:29.740
if you do need help or talking to people

00:29.740 --> 00:31.210
if you need to talk to people,

00:31.210 --> 00:33.430
is my first tip for all parents.

00:33.430 --> 00:34.980
- Are you okay?

00:34.980 --> 00:36.780
- Although this is a
really tough situation

00:36.780 --> 00:39.740
that our military
families are in right now,

00:39.740 --> 00:41.850
there can be some positives.

00:41.850 --> 00:44.030
We'll make it through
this next few months.

00:44.030 --> 00:46.450
And it might be a time for
families to really learn

00:46.450 --> 00:48.150
and share and get to know each other

00:48.150 --> 00:49.800
in a way that they didn't before.
