Just wondered how everyone's kids are in this weird and unpredictable time. Mine are ok but I do worry they are on the edge of depression most of the time and I'm having to put my preschool TV presenter attitude on for the first time since they were really small.
I have one who's just started secondary and has managed without being sent home because of a case in her bubble so far. It's very difficult for her to make/cement friendships when there are no clubs or bringing people home though. Getting her to do exercise is nigh on impossible too but at least she walks to school.
My younger one still in primary has had to be at home loads for one reason or another and it's really taking its toll on her. She was OK homeschooling when we were mostly making it up and I was not working either but now it's work set by school and I'm trying to work at the same time she is really not enjoying it. Again, no play dates is really hard. I feel like she's really retreating inside herself.
How are your kids? Have you found any good ways to keep them cheerful in all this?
