We are all feeling rather insular, anxious, unsure as mamas during this stressful time. I hope this finds you well mamas. As moms, and I can certainly attest to this, we worry about keeping our kids healthy, educated & busy during these times.

What is extremely helpful for our sanity and that of our families is sharing resources with one another online. Particularly with school closures, we can all use creative ideas right now. Today, Samantha Carrick of Literacy for Littles because she shares easy, non-stress, creative + accessible ways to teach literacy at home to kids of all ages! These include things like freezing toys in ice and removing them, using painters tape to create designs or roadways for cars around the house, sensory play bins, and turning food into literacy activities, to name a few! 

 

Today we talk about: 

  • Why we should be gentle on ourselves as moms during this tough time

  • Why we don’t have to run out and start an official homeschooling curriculum right away

  • Being inside during a pandemic is stressful! Nurture your children by exemplifying calmness and taking care of yourself too!

  • We can break up our day subtly so they can still maintain a schedule

  • Kids thrive on structure but we don’t need to stress ourselves out over it.

  • Why being present is equally as important as a schedule

  • How to take care of yourself and your kids

  • Tactile tips for being at home a lot right now

  • Why entrepreneurship is not easy but why it’s totally possible to do what we love for work

  • How to merge our work, life, passions together

 

Mamas! How are you holding up? I am holding an IG LIVE this Friday March 27th at lunchtime to talk about creative ideas for moms with social isolation measures in place during these challenging times.

We will talk about creative ideas for being home with littles and kids of all ages. We will talk about self care and how we will approach that now that we are more insular. We will also discuss wellness practices like meditation, journaling, reading etc. during this time as well as staying healthy mentally and physically. Come join me! @soulmammaspodcast.
