On each station Harper added words of affirmation like \"you can do this,\" \"take a break,\" or \"we love you.\"

\"It's mobile, affordable and it's flexible,\" Harper said. \"If my son said, 'I'm going to sit on the floor today instead of at the table,' he could do that. It's so multi-purpose, yet so simple.\"

Harper said it cost her under $20 to execute one learn-from-home station. She bought many of the materials at a dollar store.

Parents have been thanking Harper for sharing her creation online, especially when so many are adapting to this new normal.

\"If it helps someone else -- a student, child, another parent -- I think that's so much more than a like or a share,\" Harper said. \"That's where my heart is.\"
