How is the home schooling going for your grandchildren/great GC?
Has anyone got GC who are going to school, as Key Workers children?
Are they enjoying home schooling, or missing their friends and school life in general?
Are they difficult to motivate at home? Are the parents coping with home schooling and their own work?
All my three GC are being home schooled. GD, 11 misses school and her friends and would much prefer to be at school. She is very self motivated to do the work at home though. GS1, 8 prefers to be at home, but is not so keen to get on with the work at home! GS2 is only 4. He would like to be at school, but is fine at home too.
All four parents work from home so it's not easy juggling work and school work.
It was much harder in lockdown 1 as no one could help them.
This time each family have a full day of childcare from me.
Since the new year and the children are not going to school and no one is having any other contacts, DDs1 and 2 formed a childcare bubble of their own. The children go to their auntie and do morning school work with cousins (and play later) one day a week. So they have a day with DD1, a day with DD2 and a day with me. Two child free days for each family.
This is enabling the adults to get more work done and giving the children , especially GS1, an only child, valuable social time together.
