2020 Hometown HEROES Magazine LINCOLN DAILY NEWS May 14, 2020 Page 89 Creating a positive message The Rhoades approach has a sense of duty and solidarity, so their children don’t feel like they are the only ones that can’t play with friends. Rhoades said, “It is hard when other kids in the neighborhood aren’t following the shelter in place guidelines. As a healthcare provider it is even more important that my children avoid those families who may be spreading the virus without knowing.” Rhoades used a soap, water and pepper experiment to help demonstrate the importance of handwashing. To help keep the kids connected, Rhoades said the kids can speak with their friends on messenger, Marco Polo, and Zoom. They also see each other from a distance. The Rhoades family is trying to maintain routine and calm with their children in these challenging times.
