How to tackle your child during lockdown

Everyone is getting bored of life because of the gridlock situation created by the coronavirus pandemic. And the worst victim of this situation is the children. They are very delicate and we can do nothing about it. As they cannot move out of their home owing to the fear of virus, they are increasingly getting irritated. In order to deal with them under these circumstances, it is very important that you try to understand them instead of scolding them for being adamant. Here are some things you can keep in mind.

Talk to them

While you may be very busy as you are working from home, make some time for your child as well and talk to them.It’s very usual that your child will feel very lonely as they cannot go out and have fun with his/her friends. So, make some time and try to know about the reason for being vexed. Once you know the reason, it will be very easy to deal with that particular problem.

Play with them

You may have lots of works in your hand, but still it’s imperative that you manage some time and play with your kids. While playing with them, ask them about their preferences and problems. This way you will get closer to your child and get to know him/her better. The more time you spend with your child, the more he/she will feel closer to you and open up.Such session will also help you as a parent in the long run.

If possible, help them communicate with friends

Well, the children will have very tough time if they don’t get the chance to talk to their friends. That’s why it’s very important that you help them with this. Arrange a video call for your kid so that he can have a chat with his friends over the phone or allocate a particular time in a day when he can talk to his friends. If he gets this opportunity, he will certainly behave in a more controlled way.

Arrange fun activities for them

Apart from all these, you need to make sure that your kid is having lots of fun during this troubled period.Arrange some fun activities for your kid such as movie-screening, artificial camping or cross-word game and reward them for participating in the activity or completing a task you have asked them to finish. Such kind of feedback will inspire them to be gentler.

Finally, keep in touch with your pediatrician. If you observe unusual behavioral change in your kid and you are unable to control him/her, take the help of a professional. As there is a risk of infection, it’s better if you can solve the issue over the phone.
