1. “There's been just so much change in our daily lives and let's face it, we are parents and not trained teachers.” Nicole McDonnell

 

2. “The reality is that stressed children can't learn, and stressed parents can't teach” Sophia Giblin

 

3. “I tried out a ‘day of mistakes’ so the boys can see that I’m not perfect and sometimes need help too, which started with me wearing my glasses upside down and the boys were rolling around in hysterics. It helped to relieve the tension first thing in the morning, and we went on to have a brilliant day of home-schooling” Nicole McDonnell

 

4. “Resilience is such an important thing that we can all be teaching our children at this time, and we can do it in a fun, light-hearted and playful way” Sophia Giblin
