OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Plummer has decided not to homeschool her daughter.
The former ‘EastEnders’ star – who has Noa, four, with ex-partner Jaz Hutchins – has put her own spin on homeschooling, amid fears her stress would “rub off” on Noa while she tried to follow the official guidelines.
She told OK! magazine: “It was the first time I’d done homeschooling because Noa was at nursery during the first lockdown [she’s now in primary school]. Teachers are heroes! I used to be a teaching assistant, but when it’s your own child it’s completely different. Having that as an added pressure on top of everything I needed to do for myself was hard.
“In the end, myself and Noa’s dad decided we weren’t going to homeschool. We’re doing learning from home but we’re not necessarily following a structure given to us by the school.
“It was causing more negativity than positivity. Now we’ve found our little rhythm and it works for us. My fear was that my stress might rub off on her.”
Jessica was riddled with mum guilt while trying to follow the school’s curriculum but now, the 28-year-old actress and the school have found what works best for her daughter.
The former soap star shared: “Noa’s teachers have been really supportive and understanding. With all the assignments that are sent home, they say they’re optional.
“Before, we’d have a really stressful day and I’d be looking at the clock thinking, ‘When is it seven o’clock? When will it end?’ And then, as soon as she went to sleep, I’d be like, ‘Oh my goodness, wake up, I just want to give you a cuddle.’ Mum guilt is the worst guilt in the world.”
