Recently, the epidemic has re-emerged in many places, and children have returned to the state of learning at home again. As a parent, not only to deal with work, take care of the family, but also manage the child's education and other issues, it is inevitable that there will be physical and mental exhaustion, emotional irritability, and pressure multiplier moments.

In order to help parents and children smoothly through this special period, Xiaomu has compiled the following 10 home suggestions to tide over with parents.

Parents

Stabilize the body and mind, scientific epidemic prevention

Recently, the new crown pneumonia situation in many places has been more serious, followed by some unconfirmed anti-epidemic rumors, as well as eye-catching "anti-virus secret recipes". The emergence of these rumors undoubtedly enhances the anxiety of parents.

Scientific epidemic prevention is the most crucial step in fighting the epidemic war. Therefore, as parents, we must learn to identify false news, scientifically understand the nature of the epidemic, epidemic situation, clinical manifestations and harms from official channels, and do not pay too much attention to negative reports, do not believe rumors and do not spread rumors.

Keeping the mind calm and calming the body and mind is conducive to reducing panic and relieving anxiety.

Parent-school communication and coordination to fight the epidemic

Under the epidemic, many schools have opened online teaching mode in order to protect the safety and health of their children.

At this time, parents need to pay attention to the school parent group in time, keep in touch with the teacher, understand and grasp the school's education and teaching arrangements, and prepare for online teaching for their children. In the process, we should also do a good job in technical support and learning feedback, and supervise and help children complete the home learning plan.

Stop school, don't leave school, don't leave school! Do a good job of home-school communication and create a safe and healthy home learning environment for children.

Trust fully and give freedom

During the period of home learning, parents are worried that their children will relax themselves because of their work and rest, so they want to supervise their children's learning at all times, but they do not know that this way will only backfire.

Parents can instruct their children on how to plan to learn the online courses arranged by the school, but after completing the planning, they should learn to let go appropriately, so that the children can manage their learning time and other free time according to the plan.

Adolescent children have a strong sense of self-esteem as their minds mature, and they crave the affirmation and trust of others, especially their parents. They don't want to be restricted, resentful that others won't allow them to do anything, ask them to do something.

Therefore, in the process of parent-child relationship, we should try to give children more free space, let children try and experience the process of self-psychological maturity, and teach children how to plan their own learning and life without constraints and control.

Encourage companionship and learn to communicate

In the stage of epidemic prevention and control, changes in learning and living conditions will bring certain tension and uneasiness to children, and parents need to pay attention to their children's emotional changes and positively guide their children through encouragement and companionship.

For example, parents should be good at finding out even if their children's achievements and progress is small, recognizing his efforts and changes, not comparing with others, and giving children different forms of praise and affirmation in a timely manner. In addition, in the face of children's deficiencies, parents can also change the way they communicate, such as changing "why do you always do this" to "let's think of a way together".

Guide children to learn to communicate and give them emotional support to fully express their feelings and needs, then the time when the epidemic is at home will become a bridge to enhance parent-child relationship.

Manage emotions and be a good role model

Parents' emotions are not only the guarantee of parent-child communication, but also the source of children's sense of security. However, during the epidemic at home, in the face of children's sluggishness in learning, their own work troubles, coupled with the impact of the epidemic, it is inevitable that there will be anxiety and depression and emotional instability.

If parents feel that anxiety affects normal life, they can use the following methods:

Lower your expectations appropriately, and if your expectations are too high to be achieved, it will also increase your troubles. So focus on what's within your control and start with small things.

Review stress events that have been successfully overcome in the past. Pride in overcoming difficulties in the past will help us get through the present stage because they can enhance our sense of self and control.

Exercises in stress-reducing activities. Spend 5-10 minutes a day practicing stress-relieving activities such as deep breathing, mindfulness meditation, or muscle relaxation to settle the body and mind.

Kids

Arrange time reasonably and work and rest regularly

During the period of home learning, guide children to tailor their learning or life plans for themselves and strictly follow the plan.

For example, in learning, you can find the feeling of school by setting the "class bell" and "class bell", and you can also make an appointment with your classmates to learn together, supervise each other, and make progress together. In life, we should set the time for getting up in the morning and going to bed at night, and abide by the rules of work and rest when studying at school.

Let children learn to manage themselves, so that home learning has tension and relaxation.

Establish rules for the use of electronic products to prevent addiction to the Internet

Home online classes, it is inevitable to use electronic products, so it is necessary to control the use of electronic products and be reasonable.

According to the requirements of the school to develop a curriculum, in addition to the normal online class, other times to use electronic products require parental consent, and regulate the time and frequency to prevent addiction to TELEVISION and online games.

Making rules for the use of electronic products can not only teach children healthy eyes, but also help them cultivate self-discipline.

Participate in housework and improve self-care ability

Staying at home during the epidemic is the best time to help children unlock various types of housework skills, and a labor record sheet can be formulated to help children improve their self-care ability.

According to the age of the child, teach them to do some housework within their ability, such as kindergarten children, you can teach them how to organize their clothes, pack their toys, do some simple cleaning, etc.; primary school children, you can teach them how to tidy up their room, wash clothes, cook, etc.

The cultivation of family labor is not only to improve children's family participation and help parents reduce their burdens, but also to cultivate children's independence and make them better themselves.

Enhance physical activity and stay in good shape

According to the child's interests and the requirements of the family venue, you can accompany the child to carry out about 1 hour of indoor exercise every day, such as cushion push-ups, sit-ups, flat supports, and can also jump aerobics, hula hoops, kick shuttlecocks, etc.

Proper exercise can not only eliminate fatigue, help children enhance their physical fitness and maintain a good state, but also strengthen parent-child interaction and promote harmonious parent-child relationship.

Strengthen life education and enhance the awareness of self-protection

From 2020 to the present, the epidemic must have left many deep memories for children. For children who do not understand the situation, this "crisis-ridden" epidemic threatens the safety of countless people's lives, and even fills them with fear, so we must strengthen the life education of children.

Parents can use the anti-epidemic events that their children have seen or personally experienced in the media, such as medical workers who save lives and help the injured, grassroots anti-epidemic workers who stick to the frontline, volunteers who are brave enough to dedicate, etc., to guide their children to understand the value of life and establish reverence and cherishing of life.

Use real events to guide children to improve their awareness and ability of self-protection, learn to be responsible for their own health, be responsible for their own safety, and be a responsible and responsible person.
