During the epidemic, parents are really not easy, and they need to take good care of the sacred beasts at home, so that they can eat well, learn well, sleep well, and protect well, which is really a systematic project. At the same time, parents have to juggle work, feel tired of coping, and even deeply consumed.
At this time, it is necessary to stop and make some adjustments, so that the otherwise busy life becomes more orderly and controllable.
1, do not pursue perfection
Working from home, many parents have been busy becoming gyroes, this side of the work, there to assist the baby online class, to the point but also to cook, the nerves are highly nervous, it is easy to take care of one or the other, angry will be angry with the child. Such parents often unconsciously pursue perfection, hoping to do everything well, but they are exhausted. Give up perfectionism, often find yourself doing well, give yourself positive psychological hints: it's already pretty good, I'm pretty good... Often encourage yourself, cheer yourself up, look for situations that make you happy, share humorous moments with your family, and successfully survive the special period of the epidemic with your family.
2. Isolate from the information for a period of time
During the epidemic, we not only have to isolate the virus, but also all kinds of messages and chats about the epidemic. The information in the media and various groups is enough to fill our brains uninterruptedly, making it impossible to breathe.
The original intention of actively understanding the information is to know more about the epidemic and gain more control. However, the trend of checking the information at any time is easy to make people lose control, and they cannot calm down, but they are more nervous.
A good idea is to deliberately keep yourself at a distance from endless messages and web chats, half an hour, or an hour. During this period, we did not absorb various views about the epidemic, whether official or private. Leave your brain blank for a short time, refuse to be wrapped in information, and the feeling of anxiety will decrease. Letting go for a while and then receiving information will also have a more objective judgment.
3. Bring your focus from the outside to the inside
Work, children, family affairs come one by one, and some parents will have a long list of their own agency lists. The endless work and chores, constantly docking the various needs of children, often exhausting parents during the epidemic. This is of course a necessary responsibility, but you can't forget yourself in your busyness.
Spend some time each day focusing on yourself, mindfulness meditation, indoor exercise, closing your eyes, or simply basking in the sun.
If the child comes to the problem or asks to play with him, he can tell the child that there is a period of time every day that is reserved for himself, and that his parents do not look at the mobile phone or work, but only with themselves to restore energy. Children are often able to understand and are willing to cooperate with their parents to have exclusive time.
It is not easy for everyone to work during the epidemic, it is not easy for medical staff and volunteers who are fighting in the frontline, it is not easy for parents to work from home to take care of small mythical beasts, and parents have consciously taken care of themselves to welcome the scene of spring and warm blossoms together.
