2. Empathy and Kindness
   The pandemic caused stress for everyone, and it affected all of us in different ways. If you are the practice owner, you may feel anxious from a financial perspective. For staff, safety and well-being may be the top priority especially if you are the primary caregiver to children and/or aging parents. Depending upon age and health status, patients may have a variety of concerns that need to be addressed before they are comfortable returning.
   
   Stress can often make us less patient and less compassionate. Unfortunately, that can hinder a successful practice reopening. Slowing down and taking the time to listen to each others worries and concerns can help us act with empathy and kindness. When we understand each other's perspectives, we are in the best position for restarting a productive practice.
