Your children are are trying to adjust to this situation as much as you are at the moment. This is a strange situation for everyone. Teachers, pupils and parents alike.
If your child cannot do something dont get upset with them. They are struggling to get thier head around concepts that a teacher would normally teach. You are not teachers normally and so things will get stressful.
Be careful to assure your child that you are still their parent/s, that school will start but not sure when. Allow them time to adjust and yourselves to adjust.
If possible dont make them work in their bedroom as they need a space to ESCAPE to. just like you will.
Try to keep it fun and dont forget that even if you start to get stressed, this will not help your child.
Please take time out forself aswell.
Dont stress you are not proffessionals and this situaton is not going to be here forever.
Above all encourage your child and reassure them it is okay to make mistakes as that is how we all learn in the end.
Thia is my response after seeing someone today whose child was in distress at the amount of work
they are expected to do. Parents are struggling with this as much as the kids. The child's mom was distraught and anxious. I could do nothing to help as I cant go and see them, until we are out of lockdown.
What would you do?
