Home education, a challenge for parents. Image credit: piqsels.com.
The year 2020 became a challenge for parents and representatives to exercise the role of the teacher in their homes. How many suffered or still suffer from stress, both students and parents, hence from my experience as a teacher, especially from love and my vocation as an educator I have outlined a series of strategies or tips for the process of education at home is pleasant, you parents and representatives are the first and greatest educators, remember that it is at home where you learn to love, the value of family, respect for others and many other values that depend on our essence as human beings and inhabitants of this common home that is our planet.
1. Organize a space only for academic activities: We must organize a space at home, even if it is small, that is intended only for study, a place where there are no distractions, which has good lighting and ventilation, which is pleasant and comfortable, there we will place our desk, a table, chair or whatever we have so that our students can perform their educational activities in a formal manner.

2. Distribution of time and tasks: We must create a study schedule, research in learning shows that most people have our brain rested and ready to learn new things in the morning. So I suggest from 8am to 11am for study and learning new subjects, and in the afternoon from 3 to 5pm is an ideal time for the development of activities that have to do with our manual dexterity.
3. Keep distractions away: If we have students who are prone to be easily distracted let's try to avoid things that can make them not focused on their studies. That is, avoid playing loud music, having a TV on, other people talking and conversing right where they are studying.

4. Parents, let's take on our role as teachers: A mistake we make when helping our children with their learning at home is trying to teach assuming our role as parents, and we use phrases such as "you are going to study because I say so"; "I am your dad and you are going to do your homework". In this case my suggestion is to take the role of the teacher and be assertive in the discourse; let's explain why it is important to learn a specific subject.
5. Learning, researching and relearning: Parents who have not had professional training as teachers must assume that in order to help their children they must research, study, learn and relearn about each subject before helping their children with homework. This is because, many times today's content involves a change in terms of concepts and theories that have changed from the day we studied to the present day.
6. Seek help: We can't know everything about everything, and we are often good in one or two areas of knowledge, but hardly good in all subjects. Don't pretend to know everything. Therefore, when necessary, seek help from other people or tutorials on the Internet before falling into the stress generated by not being able or not having the ability to explain the subject to our children.
7. Do your job with love: As teachers we love our job, as educators our vocation is to educate through love, kind words, being respectful and always responding with the best disposition will make our children have less stress when studying.
8. At the end of the workday, go back to being a mom or dad: It is very important that once the study day is over, we do other activities with our children that allow them to see us as their parents again.

I hope you found it useful to read my article, as I said they are some tips that from my experience I wanted to share with you, homeschooling can be done, we just have to do things with planning and lots of love.
See you next time!
Very good advice, you have to be the size of the commitment and assume it with love and dedication. The pandemic has produced the fact that again time is dedicated to the education of the child at home and this may perhaps be a point to gain in the future since the education system, at least the Venezuelan, is structured in such a way that there are not many forms of interaction, but only someone who speaks and another who listens with the obligation to repeat to the letter what the teacher exposes and capture it in the notebooks and exams.
That's right friend @joseph1956, you have to see it as a great opportunity to interact more with the children at home and have a more important role in their academic formation, no doubt it is a great experience if done with love and planning.
Excellent advice to be taken into consideration at this stage that we are still going through about virtual classes.
Thank you for sharing.
Have a great day!
Best regards.Hello @emimoron
Thanks to you for stopping by to read friend @yanetyanez. They are good advice to be taken into consideration at this stage that is not yet over, so maybe we will continue in this scheme of virtual classes for the remainder of the current course. Greetings!
It might not be easy for parents to take up the role of a parent and a teacher at the same time especially when the parents still has a job to get to.
Yes, you are right. If the children are at home but the parents still have to go out to work, homeschooling can get complicated. You have to look for support in these cases but try to follow up on the children's activities.

Hi friend, certainly this was a challenge for parents, as many became accustomed to being away from their children's education. It was easier to leave it in the hands of the teacher, but I agree that parents should always be inside the game, know what they see, how they are teething, what they learn, how they treat them and share with them the whole process. Not to be absent parents. They are important processes in the development even if no one thinks of it that way.
Greetings!
Hello friend, you said it very well, we should not be absentee parents in the education of children, and this is a great opportunity to get involved in the process and then stay in it more actively.
