  2. The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the lives of families around the world. As a caregiver, you may be wondering how to support your children in developing, as you're yourself trying to get a grasp on what's happening around you. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the manifestation of stress in children is not as direct as it is in adults. These uncertain times are confusing and stressful for everyone, including children. Children are witnessing a new experience and tend to respond by being clingy, withdrawing, bedwetting and agitated all the time. During these crises, children need guidance to acknowledge their emotions and concerns. To make things easier for parents, United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund’s (UNICEF’s) Global Chief of Education, Robert Jenkins offers five tips to keep children’s education on track while they’re staying home. Let’s get started! Before that, make sure you rely on the best school in Vadodara for academic as well as development purpose. © Nalanda International School | All rights reserved.

  3. 5 tips to keep your child learning at home We bet parents are facing extraordinary challenges trying to juggle between work and child care. Fret not! We have some good tips to help you and your confused, stressed children. © Nalanda International School | All rights reserved.

  4. 1. Schedule a routine together Establish a structured routine - learning, playtime and reading. Come up with plans together considering their age and resources. Take this crisis as a learning opportunity to incorporate other skill sets like cooking, gardening, washing clothes and other household chores. This time can be used judiciously for self-growth and self-development in a learning and fun activity. If your child looks more agitated and restless, then opt for some physical activities to distract him/her. © Nalanda International School | All rights reserved.

  5. 2. Ask open-ended questions You need to encourage your child to express their feelings. Children tend to react differently to alleviate their struggles or emotions. Learn to identify changes in their behaviour to find out what’s bothering them. Look for changes like the following: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Difficulty in focusing. Struggling to relax. Extreme emotional reactions, such as anger or crying. Changes in eating habits. Increase in refusal to do chores and other forms of stubbornness. Increase in aggression towards caregivers or siblings. Depression. © Nalanda International School | All rights reserved.

  6. 3. Take one step at a time Don’t do things in a hustle. If you’re planning to have a 45-min or an hour session, then begin with a 10-min session and make it progressively longer. Make it engaging by combining online and offline activities or exercises. We recommend you to limit screen time, including yours to create a space for family members to spend quality time. The pandemic may have a lot of drawbacks, but it has given us plenty of time to share with our children and loved ones. © Nalanda International School | All rights reserved.

  7. 4. Reduce online access We all know that digital platforms provide endless opportunities for children to keep learning. It has been a boon to stay in touch with friends and families, especially during the crisis. Limit online access as it can be risky for your child’s protection, safety and privacy. Children should be explained about the advantages and disadvantages of using the internet. Tell them about what they need to be aware of while scrolling the net. It would be advisable to set rules for how, when and where the internet can be used. Establish strong parental controls on using smart devices. Nagging your children now and then would make situations worse. © Nalanda International School | All rights reserved.

  8. 5. Be in contact with the school It’s vital to stay in touch with your child’s teacher to get the necessary guidance. Follow parent or community groups on Facebook and other social media platforms to support each other with homeschooling. These are some of the suggestions by a renowned UNICEF expert. We understand that there are millions of parents trying to find out ways to keep up with the coronavirus outbreak. Nalanda International School - the best school in Vadodara would advise parents to have an open and supportive discussion with their children who might be feeling overwhelmed and anxious about the pandemic. You must help your children to understand the issue and find ways to cope up with it. © Nalanda International School | All rights reserved.
