Hello! How are you feeling today?

Question
I'm a bit worried today and nervous.

You are a very good parent to care and worry. I get it, I am a mom myself! Is your child doing digital learning or in person?

It's actual a hybrid which is challenging. 2 days in school and 3 days at home.

I can see how that is challenging Is it the same teacher for both?

She has about 9 teachers and it's only 6th grade.

That has to be really frusterating not having just one teacher you can go to in order to see if there is anyway to help your child not struggle
assistant
Reflection of feelings
I want to push her to keep working, but also want to give her a break from all the work. There is so much homework for a little child.

Perhaps you can find out which classes your child struggles with and contact the teacher(s) or school to set up a conference? I know some schools even have peer tutors they say help pair students with!

I'm thinking about tutoring possibly but being home and going to school it is so overwhelming already and to add tutoring to the list is another question for me.

My children are five and eight. My eight year old spent about ten hours doing digital learning the other day when in-perosn was closed. I was so frusterated. I let her pick a movie and snack when she was done to reward her for finishing.

Yes, we've had some months worth of snacks! Good thing for Burger King!

Have you looked into any edulational or learning games? There is nothing wrong with rewarding your child for doing good in school or getting thier work done! :)

That is a good idea. I wonder if they have one for vocabulary as that is the test tomorrow! She says she loves them. I'll have to look!

I have done that with my kids. Technology is such a huge part of children's lives these days, they will play a videogame in a heart beat. I don't think they even realize they are learning sometimes!

I have to do some research though and doing this x 3 kids is draining on top of work

Actually I have one more question
user

okay, what is it?
assistant
Question
Do you think I should feel guilty for making her study?
user
null
I think it is natural for a a parent to feel guilty when they are having thier child do something the child doesn't want to do. i think the benefits outweigh the negatives though. i think finding a way to make studying fun could be a win-win. you are a good parent for wanting the best for your child!
