'This
experience is overwhelming': Sienna Miller reflects on the challenge of
homeschooling daughter Marlowe, 7, in the midst of a global pandemic
Sienna
Miller admits she is 'overwhelmed' with the difficulties that come with home-schooling
children as the world adapts to a new way of living in the midst of a global
pandemic.
The actress
remains in self-quarantine with seven-year old daughter Marlowe while adhering
to strict policies regarding social distancing and outdoor activity in the
fight against the novel coronavirus COVID-19.
Speaking to
a special June-July issue of Vogue, Sienna, 38, admitted the unique situation
they now find themselves has not been without its challenges, and has given her
a greater respect for teachers.
'Having to
homeschool is a challenge, and it makes you greatly appreciate the people who
teach for a living,' she explained. 'They are making this system work in such
an unpredictable and scary time.
'This
experience is overwhelming, but I’m trying to bring in as much optimism as
possible, and make the most of the time I get to spend with my daughter. There’s
been lots of baking, lots of makeup, lots of swings.'
Posing for
the latest edition, Sienna offers a rare glimpse at Marlowe, her only child
with former partner Tom Sturridge, as they self-isolate in Westchester County,
New York.
