How to organise your distance learning with child
It is not always easy to meet the costs of distance learning with child. But there are financial aids that support you in your distance learning with child. Both the state and some foundations provide financial support for student parents.

Here's how: Set up your individual study plan by first roughly dividing up your semester. By when do you want to be through with the content of which module? When do you want to do which exam? Then you should be more specific: When are there gaps in the coming weeks that you can use for your studies? Don’t just consider fixed times – such as your working hours – but also childcare time, shared rituals and time for your hobbies. Once you have worked out your time slots for learning, fix them in your calendar – like fixed professional appointments.
Tip: Plan only approximately 60% of your time – with the remaining 40%, something unforeseen will probably happen anyway. In this way, you can specifically prevent instances of frustration that may arise if you cannot stick to your plan.
