I however managed to spend

As this crisis was getting closer, we took an independent decision to take on Social Distancing. We avoided crowded shopping centres, supermarkets and also started online piano and singing lessons. We spoke to the girls about how to protect themselves; we stopped meeting up with friends and encouraged face time. We were avoiding unnecessary contact with people. Work and school were the only reasons for leaving home.
We were relieved when schools closed as we felt that would definitely prevent spread with the virus even though children may have mild symptoms or none at all.
Our first day of home schooling went well. The idea of online schooling dataset with teachers teaching from their own home was an exciting experience for M.
Being 18, K normally enjoys spending time on her own, or with friends. time with her yesterday trying to help her get into a routine for the next few months. She loves routine. She loves school. I had to make her understand that it is now our routine to do school work at home. Thankfully it was as successful as it could be.
However what I did not expect was a text saying she is one of the 1.5 million people that fitted the ‘Extremely Vulnerable’ Group who needs shielding for 12 weeks. This meant we needed to make even more changes in our lives to protect her. The guidance is much stricter and it is a scary thought that my 18 year old is at the highest risk if she gets Covid 19.
