This is a sore subject for all mothers whose children are in primary and secondary school. I don’t take into account high school, where self-control and motivation are already better established. It is clear that the first week of distance learning showed us that we are not getting anything done, the volume of assignments is large, there are a lot of subjects, each teacher has his own requirements - what, to whom, where and when to send? And in an instant, all the good and kind mothers turned into terrible and evil mothers who only know that they scream, blackmail and threaten. Mom’s anxiety level is growing, because she needs to have a word! Mom feels helpless (oh, so many things have been asked of us I’ll never have time to do this), fear (my child is an excellent student and I won’t allow him to move out for school) or, on the contrary, is in idealization (oh, well, now I’ll write papers instead of the child, it’s faster, and the grades will be higher)..☝️What helps ?⏳Share responsibility (not shift). Think about who will be responsible for what? For example, you are responsible for checking assignments and sending them by email. mail. The child does the work itself. If dad is strong in mathematics, then involve him in solving problems and examples together with the child.⏳Schedule - distribute study time convenient for the family. It may vary. For some it’s convenient in the morning - a lot of energy, for some during the day (younger children sleep and are not distracted), for others in the evening (when your main job is not available).⏳Schedule - write down in a column the names of subjects and tasks for them for one date. And note which ones have already been done, which ones have been sent, and which ones still need to be completed. Visually, it’s easier to control.⏳The sequence of tasks in subjects should be agreed upon with the child and divided into:🔺️important and urgent - do it first and together,🔺️important and not urgent - the child does it himself, you check when you are free,🔺️not important and not urgent - this could be crafts for labor, drawing, you can ask your husband, grandmother, grandfather, any family member capable of this matter, or yourself, if you want, to help your child.⏳ Distance yourself in time - if you feel that your patience is already running out and you are on the verge of a nervous breakdown - it is better to get out of this situation for a while, distance yourself, take a break, relax and only then help again.
