Mainelady, your post is so heartwarming to read given our current circumstances! I have started my telehealth meetings with my children/parents and had one parent who felt very shy about being on camera. I initially felt self conscious about being on camera as well, but we persevered and it worked well enough. I am not 100% sure, but I do think wearing makeup, which I had time for on day 1, but not day 2 improved my appearance on camera. My hair stylist canceled my appointment since only “necessary” businesses can remain open as of Sunday in NY. We will all grow shaggy together!

Thank you for sharing and for all you do. We all need a friendly face in these scary times and I know it meant the world to your students and their families.
