Sick Days & Low Days (What to do) Plus a Video!

I just posted a video where I chat about homeschooling during sick days, low energy days or those seasons of chronic illness.

I've had more of those recently than I should have. 

Needless to say, I haven't felt very productive. 

In the video, I give 3 basic points. 

1. Foster independence in your kids. Teach them to learn. 

2. Plan ahead for those rough days. 

3. Let go of the guilt. Give yourself grace. 

Of course, I don't have all the answers in the world...there are many who are doing it much better than me. But I want to at least share my experience. 

Such as it is...

So...as promised...I am going to share a few resources with you.
