How remote learning has affected Australian children
|
Remote learning wasn't an experience many families were familiar with prior to 2020. As parents, the normal routine was to send kids off to school each day and encourage homework at night, but all this changed with the emergence of COVID-19.
Parents and teachers had to adapt quickly to remote learning, and while the 'home classroom' hasn't been a huge imposition in some states and territories, many families know what it feels like to be locked into remote learning for months and months.
To learn how lockdowns have affected young students around the country, and what we can do to make things better going forward, we spoke with Dr Anthea Rhodes, Director of the RCH National Child Health Poll.

It's the silly season, and just because you're breastfeeding, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy a Christmas vino or bring in the New Year with champagne.
With careful planning, it can be possible to drink alcoholic beverages as a breastfeeding mum; and to help you understand the ins and outs of safe alcohol consumption, we're sharing some information and advice from the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA).
