First Day Of Remote Learning

Today was our first day of remote learning for our house as the boys had inset days yesterday.

Like the rest of the country we have done this before, and because of that I did feel we were a little bit more prepared for it this time around than last time.

But at the same time it was a new thing for us.

As this time I have two boys in two different schools, and for the first time I have one in secondary.

So we started today off, half knowing what we were doing.

I was quietly confident with the primary way of doing things.

The secondary was completely new.

So we were apprehensive and weren’t really sure what was happening with some things.

But I think we managed to scrape through the first day.

We had some struggles but I think we worked them out and the boys both did brilliantly.

We are definitely not always going to have good days, and I am sure we wont always be happy at the end of the day.

But today I am taking the day as a win,

And Boo and I even had time to make some cakes today so that is definitely a win.

I am trying hard not to stress about this remote learning time.

I am trying my hardest to remain calm and what works is fab, and to work through the things that are hard calmly and if it doesn’t work it doesn’t work.

But not to stress about it.

I think that is the key this time.

Last time I was very worried about what we did every day and it did become stressful.

This time I need to not do that.

This time I need to do what is good for me and the boys, and just do what we can manage.

That is my biggest aim.

A calm unstressed me, means a calm unstressed set of boys, and that means a happy house!

And that is the priority!
