Staying home with teens in times of COVID19 #5 Adjust your pace!…

By Ute Limacher-Riebold on April 23, 2020 • ( 1 Comment )

Easter is over, some children are back to remote learning and some schools have adapted the amount of time students are required to learn online (or offline). They adjusted the pace of holding lessons online and if you ask me, it was so necessary to do so! Following […]

Staying home with teens in times of COVID19 #4 Celebrating Easter in 2020

By Ute Limacher-Riebold on April 11, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )

It sounds almost a sacrilege to mention COVID19 and celebrating in the same sentence or title, especially considering those who are struggling right now. We all have different ways to cope in the many phases we go through not only now, but in any situation. At the moment, […]

Staying home with teens in times of COVID19 #3 To plan or not to plan, that’s the question

By Ute Limacher-Riebold on April 9, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )

At the moment our teenagers have term break. We have spent many holidays at home in the past, but during COVID19 the social distancing and extra precautions when going out for walks etc. feel way more limiting for my teenagers (and me!). Also, they just got into the […]

Staying home with teens in times of COVID19 #2 Breakfast and dinner conversations

By Ute Limacher-Riebold on April 8, 2020 • ( 1 Comment )

In the past few weeks we have tried to maintain some kind of routines and one of them is to all have two meals per day together: breakfast and dinner. As my husband and I tend to have meetings during lunch hours, we have either an early or […]

Staying home with teens in times of COVID19 #1 Remote learning

By Ute Limacher-Riebold on April 7, 2020 • ( 2 Comments )

After a bit more than 3 weeks at home with my three teenagers I can say that so far we are doing well (touching wood, iron… whatever brings luck!). My children coped quite well with the remote learning, surely thanks to the school that already used learning platforms […]

When using words in another language (sensible and sensitive)

By Ute Limacher-Riebold on February 12, 2020 • ( 4 Comments )

Like many people who regularly use more than one language, I have some words I use in an incorrect way because the same – or similar – form of the word has a different meaning in another language I speak. Native speakers would probably not make those mistakes, […]

Loriot and his poem about “Advent” – an example of German humour

By Ute Limacher-Riebold on November 29, 2019 • ( 1 Comment )

During this time of the year we’re used to stories showing the values of our traditions and religions. Most of them are shared with children. The poem I would like to share in this post is about the time of advent and St. Nicholas. It is written and […]

What I learn from my children

By Ute Limacher-Riebold on August 20, 2019 • ( 5 Comments )

My children are all teenagers now and when I recently stood still to look back and focus on what is happening right now, I looked at all the ups and downs, the very difficult and the easy moments, the moments of joy and the ones of deep sadness. […]
