April 16 is National High Five Day. I miss exchanging with a little kid a high five and/or a hug after reading to them in a classroom or 
seeing them walking along the hallway or sidewalk. But we CAN still give high fives and it is needed now more than ever! Help your child use Face Time, Zoom or use whatever technology available to reach out to a grandparent, parent, neighbor, friend, or acquaintance at their home or especially in a retirement type community where normal interactions are really restricted. If you belong to a church, synagogue, temple, or other establishment, look up a person in a directory to reach out to them. Let them know how much you love and care for them and how you miss interacting with them. It will bring them so much joy during this trying time of limited people connections. And don’t forget to give them, the virtual high five!
