At present, the epidemic situation is still grim, more than two years, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has affected everyone's life, and children are naturally deeply affected by it.
They will be anxious because they can't go out and play, and they will be more afraid because they don't understand the virus... As parents, what are the really important things we should teach our children from this epidemic? Parents are asked to do the following 6 things.
01
Treat your child's emotions correctly
From a biological point of view, fear is an instinctive reflection of human survival. During the epidemic, in the face of the uncertainty of the infection, anxiety and fear are normal reactions, and parents do not have to pretend to be fearless in front of their children. Because of the new crown virus, many kindergartens have been closed, and children cannot play with their partners happily, and their hearts are inevitably more anxious.
Parents should not despise or avoid the child's feelings, but should encourage the child to express his uncomfortable feelings, and tell them that it is normal for them to be afraid and anxious, so that they can be careful to soothe and listen carefully, so that the child knows that no matter what happens, parents will support and protect them behind their backs.
02
Take your child to learn about the virus
The virus is menacing, threatening the lives of many people, and children have too many unknowns in their hearts, so they are more likely to be afraid. As parents, what we have to do is to help our children eliminate panic and understand the relevant scientific knowledge.
"What is covid-19? How does it spread? How to prevent this virus..." Parents can bring their children to pay attention to the news, read relevant books, watch documentaries, and use simple and easy-to-understand language or other ways to let their children know all this.
03
Do a good job in life education
The essence of education is, in the final analysis, life education - to cultivate complete people, respect for life, respect for individuals. As two important components of life education, nature education and death education must take their children to understand well.
At present, the epidemic is the best opportunity for life education. All things are created equal, and we should be in awe of our Mother Earth. Parents should teach their children to respect nature, protect nature, and live in harmony with nature. You can take your child to start from the small things around you: do a good job of garbage classification, teach children to learn to protect the environment; love animals; love the grass and trees around them.
Death education has always been a taboo for Chinese, and the current new crown virus is raging, and it is inevitable that there is a sense of impermanence of "not knowing which tomorrow or the accident will come first". To the child, he may not know what death is, and death seems to be a terrible thing. Children need to know "life, old age, illness and death", but we must tell them in the right way, so that they know that death is not a secret of terror and darkness.
04
Teach children to be grateful
Although the new coronavirus pneumonia sounds terrible and has caused many negative impacts on our lives, there are still many "city guards" who are fighting the virus on the front line.
Parents should tell their children this:
Doctors and nurses wearing protective clothing and masks are risking infection to treat infected patients on the front line;
Outstanding scientists are urgently working in the laboratory on drugs that can help people fight the virus, so that our bodies can resist this terrible virus tenaciously;
Enthusiastic construction workers once raced against the clock to build a Vulcan Mountain Hospital that could provide 1,000 beds in 10 days; leishenshan Hospital that could provide 1,500 beds in 15 days;
Kind and enthusiastic philanthropists are organizing various donation activities to help the community protect and do their best to send warmth to people in need;
Ordinary but great people from all walks of life are also sticking to their posts and silently contributing their strength to society.
It is because of their protection and resistance that we can live better. Parents can tell their children more about the selfless dedication and touching examples of people who have made selfless contributions during the epidemic, help their children build confidence in fighting the pneumonia epidemic, and also let them know how to be grateful and cherish the preciousness of life.
05
Do a good job of family education
Chinese have always been introverted and not good at expressing love—especially between relatives. In the two years of the NEW CROWN epidemic, we have witnessed too many moments of "life and death" between relatives. I still remember the news that "the 65-year-old son was infected with the new crown, and the 90-year-old mother wrote a 4-word message to her son - 'To survive'", which touched thousands of netizens.
06
Actively cooperate with kindergartens to do a good job of protection
Under the normalization of the epidemic, the work of kindergartens has become more complicated, and on the basis of one-day routines, kindergartens have produced a lot of epidemic prevention work: health monitoring, information collection, epidemic prevention and environmental creation... Just to provide a safe and healthy environment for children. Parents should understand the work of kindergartens, actively report necessary information, pick up and drop off children at different peaks, and do a good job of health monitoring... Cooperate with the kindergarten to do the relevant work.
At home, it is necessary to cultivate children's good hygiene and living habits: wash their hands frequently, wash their faces frequently; rest on time, exercise moderately, combine work and leisure, and improve immunity. To be a good promoter of children's learning: parents can directly apply the knowledge learned from excellent educational platforms to family life, so that the way parents get along is diversified and diversified.
The pandemic is likely to affect and change our lives for a long time to come. As the child's first teacher, parents should do a good job in educating their children, help them shape a sound personality, let their children learn to cherish life, care for life, and calmly cope with the difficulties of life.
