Hello Everyone! To my surprise this Remote Learning is starting to get to me. I guess I thought it would go smoothly because my children has been use to a structured learning environment from the dawn of time. What I mean by that is, my children(when not in school) still had learning set in place for them at home. I have realized during this Stay at Home order that it is different. School Life and Home Life is and has been two different entity. My children would separate the two because of the two different spaces. Now they are using one space for a lot of different institutions. This has become overwhelming especially keeping them focused on what they are supposed to be doing at that particular time. I applaud parents for doing remote learning and working from home. I can’t image the amount of multi-tasking this requires and showing up/meeting professional expectations. Some days have become a challenge with motivating my children to continue to meet the remote learning requirements. Some days it’s a challenge to even motivate me. I am learning to accept that there will be days like this, and extend grace to myself that I didn’t get it right. For me to be ‘Real’ to my children is to be honest with myself. To be honest that I too am challenged by the change around me, and can express openly how I am handling the change. Being ‘Real‘ will not make me less of the ” Best Mom” that my children see me as, but that in order to become to best version of myself I have to recognize where I am. This seed is about doing just that. For me it takes strength to openly acknowledge where I am, so I can channel that energy to move from this place mentally and emotionally. Being honest with oneself comes easy for some people than it does for others. Today I am thankful for the courage to be Real, and peace to try to remain calm in my state of being. Please comment and share, and keep it REAL🙂
