Preparing Our Children for Returning to School
Us parents quickly cleared dining tables and desks to make way for our children’s learning during lockdown. Many of us found ourselves asking in awe “How do the teachers do this?” We learned a lot and maybe even got into a bit of a groove with assisting our kids with home learning.
Recently, the government has given instruction for slowly re-opening schools. So us parents around the UK now find ourselves preparing our kids for that return amidst pandemic provisions.
While we don’t know exactly what the school provisions will be, we can begin preparing our kids. One of the most important things we can do is to give our kids a sense of control and that can be through preparing for school together. Kids appreciate being involved and honest information helps them to feel more empowered and reduce anxiety.
