Our 14 tips on how to juggle the new world order of working from home and home-schooling.
I write this from the front-line, as my 10 year old is twirling round the kitchen bouncing a slinky having finished his lesson plan early, my husband is on a conference call in the front room and my daughter has already broken down in tears over a chemistry task she couldn’t understand. Oh and the neighbours have decided today’s the day to install a new fence so drilling is my new constant companion! You couldn’t make it up.
So bearing in mind that before this point in our lives, all the advice, ever, was “don’t work with children and animals”, it’s important to remember that homeworking while home-schooling presents an unprecedented challenge and one that, let’s face it, no one in normal circumstances chooses as it’s such a hard task.
But here are some suggestions we hope may help you juggle this uniquely tricky situation.
