Maybe you suffer from a mental health condition and on a good day you’re barely holding on, but during a global pandemic? You’re losing your grip.Your mental health is more important than homeschooling your kidsI’m saying this as a mom who falls into a few of the aforementioned groups. My husband’s job, while not in health care, is considered essential, so he goes to work. I now work from home. Along with my four kids, who range in age from 16 months to 11 years. I have anxiety and depression.
However, homeschooling isn’t going to be the proverbial straw that breaks this camel’s back. Nor should it be yours. When my son was struggling with one of his online assignments and my nerves were reaching their breaking point becauseI called his teacher. Through the tears , I asked if he could write his work and I’d snap a picture as evidence instead of fighting with text box glitches on the technology platform. Her response? “Absolutely! You do what works for you.” God love her.
