School related anxiety and home educating through Covid-19

Understanding The Mind Of A Teenager.
This day in age teenagers are seen as the little demons amongst society from the way they are perceived in the media. YOU might have a teen who is becoming more moody and hormonal each day and you just cant get your head around why this is. Don't fret, there are more reasons as to why this is not just about chemical imbalances. Teens become this way from contributing factors such as school, change of friends/social groups, pressure from the parents to do well, stacks of homework, fear of finding ones self, lack of physical activity etc.

My Grandmother’s Recipe to Unite a Family
As the leaves started to fall from the trees and we were getting ready for winter, the whole family sat around the wood fire oven, speaking way too loudly while sharing some food. My uncles talking about sport and politics and my aunties telling stories and laughing as the kids ran around the house waiting for the food to be served. Those were the most ordinary and extraordinary moments I've shared with my grandmother. I've spent a lot of time at her house in a country town in the South part of Brazil close to the Mountains.

Eco-Friendly Mother’s Day | Sustainable Gifts and Ideas
It’s nearly that time of year again where we can show our beautiful Mother’s how much we love, care and appreciate them. However, due to covid-19, this Mother’s Day may be a little different to previous Mother’s Days. If we can’t share the day with them, we can still bring a smile to their face, in a way Mother Earth would approve and appreciate.

COVID-19 and the Caregiver
Let me tell you a story about the time that I was a caregiver for both of my parents from a past flu season (Mom passed in 2017, and Papa followed her the following year). I will preface by saying that both of my parents had their flu shots a month and a half prior to this particular incident. I did not because those flu shots knock me out for a while, and as the sole breadwinner of the family, I couldn’t afford that at the time.
