I've preparing to home ed my lovely DDs, who are currently 4 and 3. However, this week I've been ill (part of a long-term chronic medical problem) and am now depressed (which has been an intermittent problem for many years). For the past week then, I've been in bed and unable to do anything physically or mentally challenging with the girls. DP has been great with them between his work shifts, but he doesn't educate them as such, and we're looking towards a relatively structured approach. How do other people manage home ed when they're ill? And what could I do to stop my illness impacting upon my girls? Ultimately, I would send them to school if I completely couldn't manage, but I would like to try everything possible first. I'm a member of all my local home ed groups, but am asking here because I don't want them to know too much of what I'm going through. TIA.
