Plus a different perspective for taking the stress out of homeschooling
| |
Dear Verywell readers,
This week, I realized that life right now is similar to life on maternity leave. I'm at home all day with my son feeling anxious about most things. There isn't any structure so the days are all blending into one another. Plus, constant snacking (for both of us)!
For me, going back to work after maternity leave was very easy. I was ready to get out of the house, be among adults, and be more stimulated. But as my son has gotten older, can say 'Mommy' and cries when I leave him, pre-pandemic Monday mornings had become much more challenging. So for now, I am trying not to stress and just be grateful for our health and the extra time together as a family.
If you are homeschooling right now, in the words of Elsa: Let. It. Go. School at home doesn't need to look exactly like the classroom and there are other important life skills your kids can be learning during this time. This week, we're sharing some of our favorite ways to educate using play, exploration, and hands-on-activities instead of a textbook.
