Q. How have you been managing in self-isolation?
We had to isolate twice. The first time was in the summer as my son had a cough and high temperature. I found it really hard to get my daughter to understand that she could not go out to play or even speak to her friends. We got shopping online and family helped. Then again my daughter had to isolate as a classmate had tested positive. I found that extremely hard as we had to stay home for 2 full weeks. Obviously I didn't have to isolate but my daughter was too young to stay alone. The days were so long and boring. We ate all the food in 3 days with boredom and then couldn't replace it as we could not go shopping and didn't have much money. We also didn't receive any help from school as my daughter is entitled to free school meals
