Any good tips on switching off from school and focusing on your own children?

I'm really suffering from this at the moment. Every waking (and most of the sleeping) moment seems to be filled with thoughts of school. I don't want to think about it! I do the work that needs doing, but don't want to have to think/ worry about little Jonny's number bonds and Lucy's I last Big Write.

I know it's probably an anxiety thing, and I have had problems with that in the past, but it's nothing severe. Just really annoying and I feel like I'm missing out on my own small DC (2 & 5). I only work part time, but it feels like a full time emotional commitment.

I have the easiest work load in school, so won't be able to, and don't expect to, reduce it any further.

Just wondered how other people switch off. Thanks.
