Lakshmi Manchu on the joys of homeschooling her daughter Nivi amid the pandemic

For most Indians, the concept of homeschooling might be a bit foreign as parents here have been conditioned to send their kids to school to get a good education as soon as they turn four. But according to research, homeschooling has a lot of benefits like kids can learn and grasp every concept at their own pace, catering to their special needs (for example, if a kid is weak at Maths, more time is given to that subject unlike in schools where there is a fixed time table for every subject), emotional freedom, independence, etc.Recently, Lakshmi Manchu decided to homeschool her daughter Nivi amid the pandemic so as to decrease her screen time if she is enrolled in online classes.
The actress and TV host took to Instagram to share the experience of homeschooling her daughter. She wrote, “As a mother, I’m always looking for ways to give Nivi the best of everything. During the pandemic, I made sure to make a lot of changes in her lifestyle to ensure her productivity & efficiency while we were locked inside our homes. With that said, I started homeschooling Nivi to give her experience where she enjoys learning new things everyday. It made her independent and directly involved in the learning process with that extra attention” (sic).

The W/o Ram actress further added how it was also a way for her to understand her kid better. She wrote, “With the online classes rolling out, I personally didn’t want my child to be exposed to a laptop screen so much and hence I’m glad it’s worked out so good for her” (sic).

On the professional front, Lakshmi Manchu was busy hosting quite a few Instagram Lives during the pandemic with personalities like Shashi Tharoor, Rana Daggubati, etc., to hone her skills and give her fans something to think about. She will soon bounce back and host another talk show, details of which are yet to be announced.
