Lockdown in response to the Covid-19 pandemic caused a time of upheaval and uncertainty. The closure of schools and the shutdown of extra-mural activities brought a new set of challenges.

My guest is Chirani Meyer and we talk about the challenges parents face. She gives advice and much needed hope for parents who are concerned about their children's academic progress.
