All were at home. Well, just think, what's wrong with that, as one pensioner lady wrote. Sit yourself, drink tea, knit a blouse and watch TV. You can go out into the garden for a walk, do something, soon you need to plant vegetables. Wow, how impatient they are! What sissies!

But another woman said something else. The four of them were locked in a tiny apartment. Husband, wife and two children. The apartment is on a mortgage. Husband lost his income, he made repairs to people. The customers did not have money, once. You cannot leave the house. Two.

And my wife worked as a cook in a cafe. The cafe has closed. The owner has to pay the salary, but from what will the owner of the dumplings pay the salary in a small town? From whom they also demand money for rent, taxes, he is a rich man and a businessman! And his apartment is also on a mortgage ...

Your supplies are running low. There is cereal and flour, there is still. But how long will they last? And the debt figures are increasing every day. But pensions and gardens, like those of an optimistic lady, are not. There are children's allowances, which will have to be lived on. And a very cramped house. Earlier it seemed that it was cozy. And now - a liaison.

One computer for the whole family. Children should study remotely using this computer. And you also have to pay for the Internet, but what about? The oldest child is 12 years old, the youngest, Vanechka, 7. Mom did her best for the children to learn. And she herself did not notice how she began to scream and get irritated, especially at her youngest son. He could not learn to write numbers and letters beautifully, he made many mistakes. Mom will give an assignment, she goes to cook soup from an ax, dad fixes the tap in the bathroom ... The eldest son is sitting at the computer, studying, as it were ...

Quarrels, screams, irritation, people are suffocating in cramped quarters and from anxiety, too, are suffocating already. And this mother made Vanechka sit at the table so that he could write the exercises. I went into the kitchen, it’s right to say, I stepped — the kitchen is almost in the room ... Soup interferes, and my hands are shaking. She looked back at Vanechka. And he sits over a notebook, small, pale and thin, his neck sticking out of the stretched collar of his T-shirt. He put his hands together, palms together, as when praying. And mumbles something quietly, looking at the notebook. Afraid to make a mistake. After all, mom will scream again, there will be a quarrel again ...

Here is a child sitting and praying over an open notebook ... He is afraid to make a mistake. Mom ran to her son and hugged him with all her might. And she burst into tears, only quietly, so as not to scare Vanechka. Tears are flowing and flowing ... And then she closed the notebook and textbook decisively. Because it is impossible to do homework in such a state and in such an atmosphere.

She and Vanya went to the balcony to blow bubbles. Mom remembered how they were made in childhood. It is necessary to dilute the soap in a soap dish, twist a tube out of paper, tie it with a thread. Then dip the tube into a soapy liquid and blow out bubbles. And bubbles fly so beautifully from the balcony, no worse than purchased, rainbow ones.

They fly and shimmer in the sun. And Vanechka no longer trembles and does not pray with folded hands, but laughs and smiles. And mom too. Because bubbles are more important than lessons sometimes ...

That's the whole story about the lessons. It is still difficult to concentrate on the child - children perfectly feel anxiety. And many of them do not have normal conditions. There is no movement and no fresh air, no space. This must also be understood. The relationship in the family is now more important for the child - health and psychological protection depend on them.

And the lessons - well, then we'll do the lessons. And we will fix the mistakes. There are mistakes that cannot be corrected - and this mother disliked such a mistake. No need to shout at the child. If you feel unbearably bad, postpone what you can postpone. Sometimes soap bubbles are more important and healthier.
