Lockdown with kids

in #covid194 years ago (edited)

Hello to everyone from Spain!
Here are we are in a lockdown.
And this time I'd like to talk to some of you that have kids.
I have got some tips for having the family life more or less ordinary as its possible.

  1. DONT DISCUSS HORRIBLE NEWS WHEN YOUR KIDS ARE AWAKE
    Well, its better not to discuss them at all, but we know that its impossible. So, try not to speak about the situation with painting it with black colors all the time.
    If tour kids are older than 7 years, you can try to give them explonations and calm them down. But dont speak about this topic all the time
  2. LEARN ONE NEW THING EVERY DAY
    Depending on the age of your kid you can learn ABC, short poems, historical events... Anything that can be interesting for them
  3. GATHER TOGETHER TO DO ONE THING
    Its very important for all the family to gather for doing something: paint, play table games or sing
  4. REMEMBER THAT YOUR KIDS ARE NOT GUILTY
    Its very difficult being locked at home with a kid, or kids, that have a lot of energy and dont have opportunity to use it. We all are scared and exosted but try not to make your kids pay for this. The last thing they have to hear is screaming
  5. TELL YOUR KIDS ABOUT THE BEUTY OF THE NATURE
    If you cant leave your kid at home while shopping cause of his age, use this opportunidad to show and name him the birds, the trees and the flowers, tell him about their color, shape and beauty
    If uour kids are old you can tell about nature at your balcony showing the clouds and playing at what they look like
