Fwd: Learning How To Work, Parent, And Teach From Home During A Crisis

Hello!

Today, I have a great article from my friend's sister-in-law, Ariel. She's also the editor.

You've seen her before talking about living in a small house, going full time with her side hustle, and living a low-waste lifestyle.

This is a topic that many people around the world are experiencing, so I hope you are able to find this helpful.

Below is a snippet of the blog post.

"As I'm sitting in my living room writing this article, my 9-year-old son is in the next room working on his laptop after a video conference call with his 3rd grade teacher. He's already had one meltdown, and my husband had to stop working to help him out.

In another part of my house, my 11-year-old son is on a video call with his math teacher because he can't figure out how to submit assignments on Google Classroom. And my daughter is in her room on her first of two or three Zoom meetings for the day.

My husband, a special education teacher, will spend his day creating video lessons and fielding emails from parents.

Our youngest son will need constant help refocusing on his school work. He can go anywhere from 5-10 minutes before he gets distracted and asks about snacks or video games. On a rough day, he'll get frustrated and teary-eyed because third graders aren't meant for this new version of school.

Since I started writing, he's interrupted me 12 times with questions about Hulk, axolotls, and if he can eat some leftover Easter candy.

Because of the pandemic, this is our new normal, and this is probably your new normal too.

None of us were prepared for this. We weren't prepared for online learning, working, and parenting all at once. Nor were we prepared for the emotional toll it would take on every single member of our families."
