How To Get Your Children Back On Track During Covid-19
Our children's schools have been closed for a long time due to the Corona epidemic. Our children spend a long time of the day in school, which is considered a good place to learn and practice discipline.
There is no substitute for practicing this discipline for the proper physical, mental and psychosocial development of children. Getting to school on time and being able to perform any task on time requires acquiring certain skills (such as self-control, punctuality, attention) and practicing them regularly.
Children's brains are gradually losing these skills due to spending relaxing time during the holidays. As a result, they are waking up late, taking advantage of the fact that the mother is doing her own thing, able to enter the online class any day, not any day. Sitting down to play games with mobiles, tablets and devices whenever he gets a chance; Playing games at night; There are severe irregularities in sleeping, eating and bathing.
There is no opportunity for physical play. As a result, children are gaining weight and are becoming accustomed to a lazy lifestyle. Naturally, children are becoming irritable, whining or irritable.
