Comments · 197 Views

It's never easy being a parent, having to juggle all the other responsibilities, and with the coronavirus pandemic going on for months, it's been even more challenging.

In their children's lives, parents have two primary roles to play: nurture and structure. They are responsible for their children's food, shelter, clothes, security, education, and other necessities due to nurture. To nurture their children, parents must give them their time, love, attention, support, and understanding.

 

On the other hand, structure is another thing they must provide for their children. It is their responsibility to parent their children, teach them values, establish rules and boundaries, and discipline them. They must establish in them a sense of responsibility that is commensurate with their age. Both of these must be balanced so that children would grow holistically and healthily. This balance is essential for children to develop good IQ, EQ, and CQ.

 

The coronavirus pandemic has been wreaking havoc on people all across the world. Now that the pandemic has been going on for months, it's even more challenging for parents. While dealing with children, they must manage their emotional tension, stress, and fears. Here are some parenting tips during this challenging time.

  • Developing new routines and habits may help you in keeping your children healthy and free of disease. These innovative strategies can help children feel safe and protected while also keeping them safe.
  • Our children are suffering as we deal with all of the changes and obligations that have arisen as a result of the pandemic. They require our assistance when it comes to online classes. They need help keeping track of their assignments, managing their work, and doing other tasks.
  • There's nothing wrong with kids using technology to keep themselves occupied and converse with other kids. The only problem arises when kids grow so reliant on them that they lose interest in other activities.
  • Above all, be present for them and pay attention to their emotional well-being.
