Remember parents- Stop Cribbing- Start Living!
A lot of WhatsApp groups went into a panic mode once the lockdown due to Coronavirus was announced. "How do we spend time engaging them all day? How do we maintain our sanity while working from home?" These were most of the comments that we noted. How about taking a step back and looking into the larger picture?
There isn't much clarity on what's happening and when normalcy would return. And even if schools reopen, we are not sure if heading out to crowded places is even an option in the coming days. Instead- what you have is endless time with the kids- something that you and they did not anticipate. Put that to good use.
- Use this school break as the perfect time to bond better with your kids.
- Learn and indulge in a new activity together as a family.
- Get your kids to narrate or write down how they spent each day. The older ones can learn to write a journal.
- Get them upto speed on the coronavirus updates and teach them to stay calm.
Before you blink- they are going to be all grown up and you would be filling college applications! So why not, make this time a memorable one?!
