Children and parents during quarantine: recommendations of the Ministry of education of Georgia
The Ministry of education of Georgia offers recommendations for parents who are quarantined with their students. The advice was developed By the center for psychosocial services of the Department, Novosti-Georgia reported in the press service of the Department.
Keep quiet
Experts advise parents not to Express worry and hopelessness in the presence of children. Children and teenagers react to what is happening based on the actions of their parents, so in this difficult and unusual time for the world, adults must necessarily take care of their own emotional state.
Take more time for yourself, do your favorite things: read, watch movies. Try to keep in touch with other parents online-share ideas and experiences of home activities and children's entertainment with them.
"All this will reduce the feeling of isolation and help you manage your emotions," psychologists emphasize.
Make a plan for the week
Experts advise children to schedule specific classes, indicating the time of their start and end, as well as be sure to determine the time of rest. It is desirable that this schedule is in a prominent place in the form of a table. This can help children focus on goals and allocate time effectively. Following a daily routine will definitely help your child reduce stress levels.
It is also important to adhere to the usual sleep mode for the child: go to bed and Wake up at the same time as it was during school. The schedule must be observed by both the child and family members.
Listen to children
It is important to know how the child perceives what is happening, what he thinks, what worries or calms him. Experts ask you to remember that children may be confused because of what is happening. Parents should explain that it is normal to ask questions at this time. They may also ask you questions that you don't know the answer to. You can not ignore children-experts advise you to say that the question is interesting and important, it is worth thinking about, and as soon as you find the answer, you will immediately tell your child about it.
"Do not provide incorrect information. Try to calmly explain the facts related to the virus in a language that they understand, taking into account their age and psychological state. Talk to them about the need to follow hygiene rules and do it in a fun way, without stress and intimidation, " the recommendations say. Say that you are near
An unusual situation can cause a child to feel very anxious. However, children may react differently to stress. Some may immediately Express concern, while others withdraw into themselves or show up at a certain time.
In any case, you need to be careful not to miss changes in the behavior and emotions of the child. It should be remembered that such symptoms are absolutely normal in the current situation.
Children need to be told that their experiences are fully relevant to the situation and that their parents support and understand them.
Children need attention
Psychologists advise parents to allocate certain time to their children during the day. Experts advise you to play games with them, triple the family evening, disco, karaoke, draw something, watch family albums, do morning exercises together and laugh a lot.
Reduce the time of gadgets
Based on distance learning, children already spend a lot of time in front of screens, so parents must control what the child does on the phone or computer.
You can choose an interesting book with your child, read aloud or listen to an audio book, then talk about what you read, describe the main characters, and talk about their behavior and emotions.
All family members should be involved in communicating with children — ask them to help you.
You can ask for professional help
If you find it difficult to cope with the situation yourself, which, in turn, negatively affects children, you can contact a specialist at the round-the-clock hotline of the center for psychosocial services at 08 00 00 00 88.
Also, parents of children from 6 to 13 years old and older can get an online consultation with a psychologist via Skype.
