With the current lockdown now in place, you may be wondering how you are going to balance home-schooling with your other commitments-again! Remember, all of our circumstances will be different and there isn’t one solution that fits all. Don’t worry about having to teach new skills – you are parents not teachers – support your child as well as you can but don’t let it become a daily battle with each other. For Government advice on home-schooling, go to help-children-aged-2-to-4 and help-secondary-school-children.
Below you will see that our Family Learning Tutors have created some ‘tips’ and shared some ideas for activities that support the school curriculum that may support you and your family.
