If school’s out for your child because of coronavirus (COVID19), how can you ensure they get the education they need at home? A great place to start is ensuring a suitable working environment. ‘Set up a desk in a quiet corner of the house where your child can keep their laptop, textbooks and notes,’ advises Nicola Anderson, customer support head at UK-based tutoring platform MyTutor (also noting you should ensure your child has necessary equipment).
You’ll likely have information from your child’s school about the work they should be doing, so stick to this. Nicola says you should help your child set up a timetable that’ll work for them and covers the subjects they need, with study periods divided up with active breaks. “Make sure your child moves, goes outside [if possible], eats meals at the appropriate times and has offline conversations,” she says.
