A Parents' Guide To The Lockdown

The coronavirus lockdown meant that things, more or less, changed overnight: parents became teachers, classrooms turned virtual, and homes transformed into schools. On this week’s episode of Alone Together, our guests offer advice for parents who need to both entertain and educate their children during the lockdown.

Join Dan McLaughlin, podcast producer at the Manchester Evening News, and Morven McIntyre, podcast producer at the Edinburgh Evening News, as they help answer some of your questions: How can parents juggle their time? How can I turn my living room into a classroom? And how can I keep my kids active at home?

Alone Together’s Matt Millard gathers some tips from Zoe Chamberlain, parenting editor at Birmingham Live and founder of Brummie Mommies, whilst Morven chats to teacher Mhairi Lindsay about home-schooling.

Alone Together is a Laudable Production, Produced & Presented by Dan McLaughlin, Morven McIntyre and Matt Millard, edited by Matt Millard.
