With the majority of UK school and college pupils now being told to stay at home, many parents and guardians are again adding home schooling to their list of responsibilities.
Apart from vulnerable children and the children of key workers, most primary and secondary age kids have switched back to home learning - something families previously adjusted to in the first lockdown back in 2020.
Keeping children focussed on work while they’re sat at the kitchen table – often at the same time as parents are trying to continue with their own work from home – can feel like an impossible task, but it’s important to keep positive and celebrate wins, irrespective of how small they seem. Yes, you might have bad days, but know these are to be expected and remember to take stock when a better day comes along.
Posting a photo of herself at home holding her new book, the presenter and singer also thanked her fans for giving her the confidence to make the book: Honestly I’ve never been so nervous.

Fans were loving the heartwarming family pic, with one saying: This is just adorable! Such a beautiful family. Haha. Theo totally looks like she is photobombing. Love it gorgeous pic, another added.
Crafting fan Stacey has transformed her home for Christmas, sharing pics of her frosted monochrome tree and spectacular front door decorations, which included silver baubles, mini Christmas trees, reindeers and fake snow scattered generously.
