What lovely ideas 👏

, 32, has nailed the home-schooling thing – but she doesn’t want to be held up as the perfect example and urges parents to let go of the pressure to home-school in a certain way.pandemic closed schools, Samantha, from Bradenton, Florida, has been home-schooling her five-year-old son, Colton, for the past two weeks.

As well as the mandatory maths and English in the morning, Samantha is teaching Colton exciting life lessons such as cooking, insect hunting, and building forts. Colton struggled with school so Samantha only spends two 15-minute sessions each day teaching him traditional subjects such as English and maths

‘We’re all stuck in our houses, so make the most of it and turn your living room into a bed sheet fort, have a Lego tower building contest and see who can find the most bugs outside.‘My son, Colton, might not know how to properly identify his numbers but he can name fifteen different fish that we can catch here in the West Coast of Florida, so that has to count for something.
