As schools have started via online apps, Radio and Television, Parents need to know that the success of these classes largely depends on them. Homeschool skills are necessary.

More tips to help you succeed from Unicef and Lifelong Health Initiative.

*Keeping it positive**

It‘s hard to feel positive when our kids or teenagers are driving us crazy. We often end up saying “Stop doing that!”. But children are much more likely to do what we ask if we give them positive instructions and lots of praise for what they do right.

Say the behaviour you want to see

Use positive words when telling your child what to do; like "Please put your clothes away" (instead of "Don’t make a mess").
It’s all in the delivery

Shouting at your child will just make you and them more stressed and angrier. Get your child’s attention by using their name. Speak in a calm voice.

Praise your child when they are behaving well

Try praising your child or teenager for something they have done well. They may not show it, but you’ll see them doing that good thing again. It will also reassure them that you notice and care.

Get real.

Can your child actually do what you are asking them? It is very hard for a child to keep quiet inside for a whole day but maybe they can keep quiet for 15 minutes while you are on a call.

Help your teen stay connected
Teens especially need to be able to communicate with their friends. Help your teen connect through social media and other safe distancing ways. This is something you can do together, too!

CHILDREN AND COVID -19 LOCKDOWN

We bring you tips given by UNICEF having teamed up with the Parenting for Lifelong Health initiative.

*We shall bring these tips one after the other hoping it helps you and your family cope with the Lockdown.*

Below are tips;
1. One-on-one time
2. Keeping it positive
3. Get structured
4. Bad behaviour
5. Keep calm and manage stress
6. Talking about COVID-19

*1. One-on-one time*

Can’t go to work? Schools closed? Worried about money? It is normal to feel stressed and overwhelmed.
School shutdown is also a chance to make better relationships with our children and teenagers. One-on-One time is free and fun. It makes children feel loved and secure, and shows them that they are important.

Set aside time to spend with each child

It can be for just 20 minutes, or longer – it’s up to us. It can be at the same time each day so children or teenagers can look forward to it.

Ask your child what they would like to do

Choosing builds their self confidence. If they want to do something that isn’t OK with physical distancing, then this is a chance to talk with them about this.

*Ideas with your baby/toddler*

Copy their facial expression and sounds.

Sing songs, make music with pots and spoons.

Stack cups or blocks.

Tell a story, read a book or share pictures.


*Ideas with your young child*

Read a book or look at pictures.

Make drawings with crayons or pencils.

Dance to music or sing songs!

Do a chore together – make cleaning and cooking a game

Help with school work.


*Ideas with your teenager*

Talk about something they like: sports, music, celebrities, friends.

Cook a favorite meal together.

Exercise together to their favorite music.

Listen to them, look at them. Give them your full attention. Have fun!

The poem gives us examples of what we can achieve at this time.

Though this is a difficult time, it is very important for everyone to stay healthy mentally and physically while staying at home.

2. Limit your alcohol consumption and avoid sugary drinks

3. Don’t smoke

4. Exercise (WHO recommends 30 mins physical activity daily for adults and 1 hour for children). If you are allowed to go out, ensure you keep a safe distance. However if you can’t go out, exercise at home

5. Keep a healthy mind (It’s normal to feel stressed, confused and scared during the crisis). Talking to people you know and trust can help

6. Stay away from news if it makes you anxious.

Please stay safe, ensure as much as you can to practice the preventive measures against .
