This COVID-19 crisis has radically changed our lives. Just a few months ago, we had no idea our ‘world’ would be confined to our homes! This crisis is a powerful reminder of how important freedom is – and how much we need human connection!
There are five positive coaching habits. And when these habits are applied with a positive coaching mindset, you will predictably inspire winning results and relationships.
These five habits give your team the biggest boost if applied in sequence, but you should still use your knowledge of each team member to determine when to accelerate through or spend more time on a specific habit.
Ignorance and in turn fear play key roles in perpetuating racism and validating prejudicial attitudes. People must individually and collectively work towards greater knowledge and understanding, recognising the dangers of misinformation and rejecting stereotypes.

Purple Mash is a creative online space from 2Simple. It hosts
an exciting mash-up of curriculum focused activities, creative tools,
programs and games to support and inspire creative learning every day. …
As Purple Mash is online, children can continue their learning
anywhere and anytime. A great resource that replicates the boys daily learning
at school.
Mathletics is designed to support teachers and parents to deliver
lessons easy to follow Maths lessons in our own time and way. There are
series of exercises and challenges which will allow our boys to get in with
learning and completing a variety of exercises. These are varied and
challenging too. Very handy when home learning. Mathletics provides
in-depth reporting that helps us see the progress of lessons, subjects and our
individual sons, helping us to assess and to plan future programmes of
learning. Students find engagement through purpose and reward.
I suspect there are a variety of similar platforms out there. Luckily, we
have all been familiar with the boys use of both platforms as they feature
highly within the school and as part of our son’s homework.
The day is broken up with breaks, playtime and dinnertime. My partner and I
build these into our days as best we can. Again, preparation is key. It doesn’t

Four weeks
in and Easter coming and going, has meant that we have picked up a whole array
of tools and techniques, ideas and programmes. The internet is awash with them
as are your local
networks,
be they schools, neighbours, friends, WhatsApp groups and the like. Below is a
list of some of our favourites. Here’s what various celebrities are offering
you and your kids for free, daily to help with their education while schools
are closed:
Hopefully,
you found this interesting, this is what, my family, K and I have experienced,
and what other parents might be experiencing too. Parents remain the most influential people in
a young person’s life and despite some finding it really difficult on occasions
they continue to provide huge amounts of support both physically and
emotionally. If you have any ideas or thoughts, feel free to contact me. I’d more than happy to hear your points of
view and see what we can share and bring to the attention of the many currently
home learning, schooling and working.
It’s
good to talk.
