Coco Gauff and her mother Candi give their advice during the Coronavirus lockdown

Cori Gauff is currently in Florida where she is enduring these weird moments ruled by the Coronavirus pandemic. Being in a lockdown is extremely tough from a mental point of view and Coco shared her advice to the other teenagers that are now having home-schooling.

The 16-year-old commented: “I live in a family of five and the house is going crazy. For all the kids, you may think ‘no school, we are on a break’ but it’s still important for him to exercise your mind just as it is important to exercise your body.”

Coco’s mother Candi and aunt Joi created a resource for families to comment:

“What we’re trying to do is have students stay on a schedule. Get up in the morning, and put some clothes on, and that really stems from our upbringing. We couldn’t be in our PJ’s all day.

Start something at 8 o’clock. It could be breakfast, it could be reading time, it could be vocabulary words. Then do something – and then mid day – have lunch, just as you would do during a regular school day.”
