I have decided it's time the kids went back to school, as I'm on a low income they have vulnerable spaces which they have been allocated since the beginning of lockdown but I never accepted. But I feel now it is needed. My 7 year olds mental health is really suffering. She doesn't sleep well, has no motivation for anything school work related, we just end up arguing about it. She doesn't usually have screen time so spending all day attached to the tablet trying to learn from YouTube or PowerPoint presentations are fast becoming mind numbingly boring and destroying the social aspect of her life. I too am heading back to work and have re-joined my old company as a care worker. I can't wait until we can regain some slight normality.
