n England there seems quite a lot of excitement over children going back to school next Monday. Home-schooling has been tough on parents and children in so many ways, so most people seem keen for it to come to an end, but is everyone going back together the best approach?
With the youngest children in Scotland and Wales already back at school this week and with the announcement that all children in England will be returning to school on March 8th, for many parents there is some joy knowing the end of home-schooling is on the horizon.
The autumn term is notorious for bugs and colds. After a long summer children return to classrooms and share their germs around, taking them home to their families like a new term gift. This year however, well it’s 2020, it’s no normal year and no normal back to school is it?
So how is back to school going for you all with this new normal? It certainly feels quite different this year doesn’t it?
A survey of 2,000 mums and dads of school-age children found they think it will take at least three weeks on average before their child is fully settled back into the school routine. What do you think?
Despite uncertainty regarding the future of COVID-19, an increase of cases across Europe, as well as fears of a second wave in autumn, one thing is certain: most parents across Europe want to send their children back to school.
Back to School will certainly look – and feel – very different this year, but taking some small steps to help enhance your family’s immunity could make the preparations easier.
The term is well under way and you are crossing off the days until half term. The general vibe might be a little sluggish, you are having trouble getting everyone going in the morning, and you are trying to dodge the numerous bugs going around school and work.
