In many homes across the UAE this very minute, parents are juggling like never before as they get to grips with teaching their children while earning a living during the coronavirus lockdown. With their normal weekday routines gone, many of those children will be finding it hard to suddenly have mum and dad as teachers – and many parents will be trying to figure out how to make it all work.
