Have two dc who both have additional needs my son more so than my daughter. Both on the spectrum but Dd is higher functioning than Ds.
Feel like I’m completely failing at home learning. They both have extra support at school. My son has full time 1:1, my daughter has some extra support.
My daughter is more willing and we have got some bits done but DS on the other hand has been a nightmare usually refusing to do any home learning. This has always been an issue even before this - not wanting to do school work at home.
My partner is still going to work doing long hours. I have major anxiety and ocd But suffering more so at the minute as I’m petrified oh will bring it in from work so I’m always cleaning.
On top of all this I’ve just lost a close family and grieving during these odd times!!
Seeing photos on social media of parents sat with their children at the table with pages and pages of work. I’m lucky if I can get DS to do a sheet a day!
Dc are both at very different levels academically. DD is in reception so her home learning tasks are a lot easier to do but getting DS to read and write is a nightmare. The school sent so much home as the work set on google classroom is too hard.
I’m bloody exhausted, anxious, grieving, missing my family and not being able to see them whilst we are grieving!
On the plus side we’ve spent more time than we ever have outside. DD who has a mild physically disability has learnt to ride a scooter and a bike which she struggled with before. They’ve had so much fresh air and we’ve been using our daily exercise to spend time in the countryside where we are very fortunate to live!
