E-Learning Resources For Kids, So Parents Can WFH In Peace
23.03.2020
Working from home (WFH) has been a long-time dream for some people.
If you imagined sipping a latte on your sofa while daintily balancing the laptop on your lap and humming along to your favourite playlist, think again. WFH or remote working comes with a particular set of distractions along with its benefits. One of those distractions being your kids.
For parents like Adam and Mia, the Movement Control Order (MCO) until April 28th isn’t a bed of roses. Besides managing the office workload which has now settled itself in their living room, their two school-going kids are also home, wracking havoc.
Over the next couple of weeks, the myth that is a work-life-balance will challenge us all as parents. Adam and Mia will need to overcome all this, by keeping their two kids entertained – but also, ‘infotained’.
It is thus a blessing that we have tools in these times, to get kids online and expose them to the various educational and entertainment resources. Parent’s groups are a great place to find such resources. However, we decided to save you the time and show you those that provide learning opportunities for kids in kindergarten, primary or secondary school.
