Be Gentle With Yourself. You will have good days and bad days, good hours and bad hours. Just when you think it’s going well, a really bad day will happen. Lock yourself in the bathroom and scream and cry. Get all of that frustration, anger and sadness out of your body.

For however long you have your kids at home and are responsible for their learning, this is the prime time for you to teach them to be independent responsible little beings.

Have them write a list of all the things they can do when “school” is finished for the day. You are not responsible for their level of boredom or entertainment. Have them refer to their list for choice when they claim they are bored.
