As parents grapple with school closures and
working from home, they’re also facing a bigger
challenge: homeschooling their children for
the first time in their lives. Indeed, it might not
be possible to recreate the classroom in your
lounge, but with the right mindset, equipment
and software, teaching your kids from the sofa
doesn’t have to leave you scratching your head.

With half of the world now on a government-
imposed lockdown and all-but-essential
outdoor trips banned, kids are adapting to a
new life at home; an extended Spring Break,
if you will. Though it would be impossible to
predict exactly when life will return to some
kind of normal in the United States, one thing
is for clear: schools will be remaining shut
for a considerable period, and though some
establishments are offering online classes to
keep their students engaged and ready for a
return to learning, others have shut up shop,
leaving everybody to fend for themselves.
For parents, that’s a pretty daunting prospect,
especially if you are adapting to a new life
working remotely, and trying to stay productive
in a home with so many responsibilities
and distractions. Thankfully, businesses and
entrepreneurs are stepping up to the plate, and
there are a growing number of daily activities
and initiatives designed to make life a little
more manageable in these crazy times. Those
brands include Apple, who recently launched
a new educational resource for children
who are at home and off school due to
COVID-19, offering 30 fun activities designed
to entertain and educate young minds. Though
