Thread: Much pressure on parents right now & their normal support systems, be that baby gym or being away at work with other adults, or occasional nights out all gone too, throw in trying make ends meet & home schooling means emotional energy needed to be with kids is running out
Kids are needing more attention because they are missing their friends, are getting square eyed schooling on screens - if they’ve got one - and they may be having difficulties in understanding all the feelings that are coming up. “I’m sad and I don’t know why?” Or sudden tempers.
Adults or children we are all missing bumping into people, making new friends, feeling comfortable with old ones never mind all the additional lockdown pressures. Prioritise feeling for yourself and for your kids. You will get through. I’m sorry it seems so hard.
And..... you can always make art together - doesn’t have to be good. What important is getting lost in the process.
