STEM Education 4 Children

STEM Education 4 Children takes this opportunity to pay special tribute to all mothers. We want to say a big thank you to our moms who are engaging their children in meaningful play and learning to build STEM awareness. Our website is paying tribute to all moms on this Mothers’ Day 2020. As a premier website on STEM Education for children parents are our priority. We are very cognizant of the role mothers play in nurturing, caring, teaching and training their children.

 

Mothering Through a Pandemic

Undoubtedly, this is one of the most memorable and unprecedented Mothers’ Day of all times. The heroes of our day are battling and staying at the helm despite a pandemic. Motherhood itself is much strain but how do our super heroes manage exhaustion, dealing with tantrum, sibling battles, teenagers’ challenges, quarantine, lock downs, social distancing, hand washing and sanitizing, protective gear wearing, homeschooling, stress, fear, anxiety, questions and still find the energy to do laundry, groceries, meals, showers and loving and nurturing during a crisis as this?

When you need a break thanks to lock downs there are no parks to go, no play mates to invite over, no school or extended family members to take the children to; or friends and or grandparents to come over to stay with them. You would do well with some quite time but everyone is home and being the super human you are, all attention is on you. You now play the role of home tutor, school teacher and researcher. Subsequently, you plan and execute flexible schedule to have some order and routine .

Looking in the mirror,  you see your hair needs to be done but the saloon is closed. You try to get that look so you have to use your skills in fixing your hair. So today we would want to give you a treat breakfast, brunch or dinner but your favorite place is closed. You are such a mental monster. Everything seems like it is falling apart around you however, you have that mental tenacity, will, energy and focus to keep it together in your home. Your family is and has always been your life. You find all the survival skills to pull together and keep it going.

This will you have is always evident since you give and save lives. Cheers to your heart of love. Although at times broken in many pieces you find the will to mend and heal. From your heart pour the flood of unconditional love and forgiveness. Cheers to your mental health and strength. You have held it together and is keeping everything and everyone going.
