For several weeks, quarantine dictates certain rules of life. People were «torn» from their day-to-day lives and placed in a closed environment. And if that\u2019s extremely difficult for adults, it can be twice as difficult for children, because it\u2019s harder for them to get used to the idea of restrictions than for an adult.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, it won\u2019t be easy. 5-9-year-old children have the most difficult time surviving isolation, because they\u2019ve only just discovered how cool it is to communicate! If the child is very young, the most important thing for him is that his mother is close by; if we\u2019re talking about a teenager and the Internet hasn\u2019t been taken away from him, he\u2019ll also find something to do (though this doesn\u2019t mean that that should be his only occupation for this period). But younger schoolchildren suffer from lack of communication most of all, as well as from the lack of opportunities for a \u201crelease\u201d of energy, so it\u2019s important to find them a way to direct their energy somewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What needs to be done to help the children adapt to this situation and get through it without unnecessary stress: <\/p>\n\n\n

\u2022 Try to diversify everyday life for children as much as possible: you shouldn\u2019t rely too much on TV and cartoons. It\u2019s better to more or less adhere to the usual schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Make a joint daily plan with your child. Make sure to discuss the items, taking into account the interests of all family members. If the child\u2019s already in school, suggest that he draw up this family plan. You can post a day plan somewhere in the kitchen so everyone can see it. Allow the child to have clear expectations about what\u2019s going to happen during the day \u2013 when there\u2019d be time for games, reading and rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Distance learning involves systematic learning \u2013 just via an unusual system. It makes sense to develop a schedule that\u2019ll closely resemble the child\u2019s regular school day and to try to stick to it. Let there be both lessons and breaks to rest and switch off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Help your child keep in touch with friends and relatives \u2013 it\u2019s important that there\u2019s no feeling of isolation. You can use Skype and other video chats for this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 When using various e-platforms, alternate between entertaining and educational ones. Be sure to discuss with the children what they\u2019ve watched, and let interesting discussions arise between you two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Set up joint activities, whatever they may be: if you\u2019re choosing a movie to watch together, do it in turn, so that all parties\u2019 interests are considered. Add an element of excitement and randomness: put pieces of paper with the names of the movies suggested by every person written on them in a hat, and let the child pull out a title on the piece of paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 If the quarantine has deprived the family of walking outside and getting fresh air, you need to regularly ventilate the apartment, go out on the balcony, do some exercises with the child. Be sure to introduce some playful elements, so that this is a fun pastime, and not a boring obligation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Watch your appearance and motivate your child not to spend all day in pajamas. It stimulates activity and good mood. And now, let\u2019s talk about specific activities. What can you and your children do during the quarantine? Oh, there\u2019s loads of stuff! We\u2019ll review it in the next article.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
