Many parents have again found themselves in a situation where they are having to work from home. With all the schools currently closed (apart from the key workers child who can still attend), parents are being expected to step up in to the role of teacher once more. During the first lockdown, all schools were closed but there wasn’t as much pressure out on the presents to ensure that work was being done from home. During the second lockdown, the schools remained open but this time the schools are closed and parents are expected to ensure that their child is completing all the work set for them.

If can be hard enough trying to get your child or children motivated and engaged in home learning but if you are also trying to work at the same time you may find it impossible. Ideally you need to try and set dedicated times as to when they need to work and when you can do yours. If you have older children, they may just be able to get ok with the work set for them but you get children will often need a lot of guidance and support as they go through the work that has been sent by the teacher.
