This is an unsure time that we are living in. I don't know about you but each day and I wake up and wonder, "What will today bring? What next?" Worry, anxiety, new responsibilities, and challenges face us, now more that ever. Of course, we all have challenges and struggles in our lives but right now, the entire world has them all at once!
One thing that some of you parents may be dealing with is schooling your children at home. Many school districts are putting their lessons online or printing out weekly worksheet packets for pick-up from their schools. Yet, some of the responsibility of children learning while self-isolated falls on the parents. Many of us are working from home and need to assist or encourage our children to learn.
However, we also want our children to have time to relax. We have come up with a list of resources and links that can provide you and your child with entertainment but also with some learning hidden in there!
