They say, prevention is better than cure, and to keep safe most of us are working from home, being confined indoors. If that's not all, with schools and educational institutes being closed for quarantine, those of us with kids will find it increasingly harder to cope. Naturally, this means steering clear of many outside outlets of fun, such as parks, contact sports, or any extracurricular activities you may have signed your kids up for.
We bring you ways to engage your children, keep your sanity intact, and tide over this isolation:
DAILY ROUTINE
While your kids are away at school, they usually have a timetable to follow. When at home, don’t throw structure out the window. This simply means, ensure your kids stick to their usual routine throughout the day. Make time for meals, moving about indoors, and of course, don’t neglect their homework! Just because the school’s closed, it doesn’t mean they ignore their priorities.
FAMILY TIME
With busy schedules, and barely any time to breathe, it’s more likely that you don’t really get to talk to your children. This is perhaps the ideal time to do so. Bring out all those old-fashioned board games, watch TV together, or even play some family games on that console. This would be a great time to break out those old family videos or photo albums. A walk down memory lane is always good for your mental health.
