Sound familiar?
Millions of parents are adjusting to a new normal.
And even if you’re not one of those parents with young kids at home, you probably know someone who is.
How can you give back to the parents in your community at this time?
As a business owner, you can help make this transition easier!
What skills related to your business could you offer parents?
Here are a few ideas:
- Virtual tutoring
- Business, entrepreneurship, or finance lessons
- Virtual tours of your shop, warehouse, office, etc.
- Knitting or sewing lessons
Reach out to the parents in your life and ask them what they need. This is a great opportunity to give back and have a little fun during a tough situation.
