It was so amazing and needed right now, that I asked her if I could share it with you all. She&#8217;s so lovely, that of course she said yes. You can reach her as follows:  website:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/juliebinmore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">juliebinmore.com<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;email:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:juliebinmore@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">juliebinmore@gmail.com<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;twitter: @julie_binmore  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what she had to say.<br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have noticed that a lot of the resources on line right now are about entertaining kids.&nbsp;Empowering them to solve problems, talk about their feelings and make choices are all healthy strategies to foster, especially during hard times. That\u2019s why&nbsp;I have written a list of things kids can do with this unexpected time off. The list is written&nbsp;to&nbsp;kids. Ideally, they can have a printed copy but if that isn\u2019t possible, maybe they can refer to it on a larger screen.&nbsp;<br>I hope the list is helpful. Please let me know if I can support you in any way. Maybe with picture books on different topics, articles about kid\/parent issues or just to chat. You can share the attached list with anyone you think it could help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-engaging-activities-for-you\"><strong>Engaging Activities for YOU!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Outside\/Active<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Go for a walk, run, skip, gallop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a spin, scoot, bike, roll.
