Is it too much? How parents are struggling to balance during COVID-19
The role of parenting now includes helping educate your kids for many during this pandemic. Is it too much?
Some advice from the experts: set up designated space and time for learning, and keep the expectations very clear.
For example, a kindergartner can really only focus for about 30 minutes in at-home learning.
So don't expect too much and add stress to an already-stressful situation.
And remember, everyone is in the same boat.
