Working from home is familiar to some, but not everyone. With it comes discipline and keeping daily needs and tasks as predictable as possible. Children cope a lot better when they know what’s going on; it creates consistency and a sense of normality. When there’s structure around the day, they feel secure and are therefore happier in themselves. At the same time, it’s important that we don’t put ourselves under too much pressure to ‘make everything right’. As long as we set the alarm for the same time each morning, encourage regular mealtimes and keep bedtimes as we normally would during the school week, we’ll have a strong framework to go on. This adjustable structure encourages discipline from the time we wake, but it also helps children feel safe.

Glaucoma, the second leading cause of permanent blindness in the US, is a group of disorders that damage the optic nerve. It is a complex disease, and while there is currently no cure, diagnosis and prompt treatment can slow or stop progression of vision loss. All adults should have regular eye exams starting at age 40, whether vision is normal or not.
