11. My 10 year old.

She has high functioning autism, ADHD, and anxiety. This is really throwing her off. Her teacher keeps letting them know nothing is required which is also not helping. Our district is allowing kids with diverse learning needs to come into the school now and work with their EA or teacher so she’s going 2 hours a day every day and this has helped immensely.

My 5 year old is doing ok with the online learning because it’s mostly project based or creative based learning. She doesn’t mind doing any of it but she also doesn’t have an special or diverse learning needs.

It’s really hard. For most of us, our homes are safe spaces for our kids but they aren’t classrooms. We have a small condo and 3 kids. There’s never “quiet”. Especially not with a 3 year old who runs around in his underwear with a hockey stick yelling about zombies.
