0:00.0	This is episode 2084 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:05.9	I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you back to day two of our series.
0:10.6	We are exploring this week.
0:13.4	In yesterday's episode, you listened to an interview with a compassionate second grade school teacher from Kansas.
0:26.6	And he shared ways we can be compassionate with children right now.
0:35.8	You are going through distress as well. In fact, social, political,
0:42.3	economic, relationship, health stresses are the most distressing situations we experience
0:50.3	we experience and you're likely going through most of those, maybe even
0:56.9	all of those situations. With children, this pandemic we're experiencing, it's not like the snow

2:19.2	up pretty well children know even older children adult children feel
2:25.5	distressed when they see their parents in distress so anytime your foundation
2:32.4	is shaken especially in regard to the main pillars of our lifestyle,
2:41.3	and for children, a main pillar is going to school.
2:45.4	When this is shaken, we can emotionally crumble easily, even if we put up a good front.
