This video is talking about some ways we can manage homeschooling/distance learning at home with our children.

I swore I’d NEVER homeschool my kids! If you’re with me on this, leave me a thumbs up above. If you have homeschooled your kids before, please leave the rest of us your biggest tips in the comments, because we are struggling. Also, try to remember that you aren’t actually doing homeschooling. You are facilitating their learning during a pandemic. It’s quite different. You have extra challenges like not being able to go anywhere but also the added support from your school, hopefully.

It’s hard to summarize teaching technique into one little video, but I’d like to give you a few quick tips that might make a huge difference. I’m also including some great resources below so you aren’t reinventing the wheel.
