Sydney Leroux Dwyer Is Ready for Her 'Comeback Season' After Baby No. 2: 'I'm Going to Put Everything Into It'

This is something Leroux Dwyer has been thinking about a lot, especially when considering the safety of her own children and their future involvement in sports. She recently partnered with SC Johnson and Save the Children to encourage other parents to do the same through the "#TheNextHighFive," a social media challenge encouraging parents and children to come up with a contact-free celebration ritual.

"With everything that's happening, we do need a new no-contact way to interact, and it's been a fun, little challenge to do with Cassius," Leroux Dwyer said. "He came up with this no-contact high five, and that's kind of what we're looking at, is to be mindful of our surroundings and have very good hygiene and do all of that. So, that's what we've been doing and it's been really nice."

The proud mom showed off her son's new high-five on Instagram earlier this month and wants fans to share what they come up with as well.

"If people can take videos of them and their families doing this … we're picking our favorites and are going to put it on our Instagram," she tells PEOPLE. "I think it's just a really fun thing that you can do with your children and get this new normal and teach our kids about being hygienic and being aware of everything around us."

Aside from teaching her children about what to expect when things start going back to "normal," Leroux Dwyer says she's soaking in this extra time with her family — which can sometimes be a rarity with her and her husband's busy schedules. 

"We've really enjoyed being with the kids," she says. "We're always traveling, so it's kind of been nice for us to just be in one place."

"I feel like in normal life, you're always rushing to get somewhere and it's just kind of slowed us down a little bit," she adds. "I think that's been a really big lesson, actually."
