Episode description
Many parents have had to juggle the responsibilities of work with home-schooling during the Covid-19 pandemic.
With lockdown restrictions easing, the pressure could soon be taken off them.
Some schools have seen some children return already, whilst the majority of kids are expected to attend from September.
On this episode, we get different parenting perspectives of children returning to school after the summer holidays.
Lemon-Aid newsletter founder Lynda Moyo and WorkingMamas.com co-founder Shelina Begum join Matt Millard to chat about the positives and negatives of parenting under the coronavirus restrictions, and how parents really feel about sending their children back to school.
Alone Together's Dan McLaughlin also speaks with EDS Foundation’s Samantha Smith about her experience shielding with her children during lockdown - and why she is reluctant for kids to return to the classrooms in September.
