<h2 id="Support">6 Ways to Support Your Children Post-Lockdown</h2>
<h3><strong>Allow Your Child To Speak His Heart Out</strong></h3>
<p>The first thing here is to be open with your child. Allow him to speak whatever he wants. You must listen to him patiently and then answer him. Use your judgment to answer. Think about what is appropriate and then give your answer. Your child doesn&rsquo;t have access to his friends and that&rsquo;s the first problem for him. Secondly, multiple thoughts are going on in his mind for which he doesn&rsquo;t have any answers. You must support your children to fill in the gap and help your child to speak whatever he wants to speak about the present pandemic.</p>
<h3><strong>Be Calm And Accessible</strong></h3>
<p>The need of the hour is for you to have a calm conversation with your children about the disease. You can tell them about how they can protect themselves and stay healthy until the disease ends. Remain accessible to answer all their questions about COVID-19. To do that you need to remain upgraded about the disease all the time.</p>

<h3><strong>Make A Routine</strong></h3>
<p>Have a routine at home to ensure your child remains occupied until the lockdown is removed. If you don&rsquo;t a routine, create some news in order to have a fruitful day for both you and your child. Ensure to include some domestic chores, playtime, screen time, and fun elements in the daily routine. As one of the <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com">best CBSE schools in India</a> we will advise you to create a timetable and support your children to make them follow it properly. This will not just keep your child engaged fruitfully but also help him forget whatever is happening outside. This will also give them a sense of responsibility.</p>
<p>Parent&rsquo;s role in education of their child is pivotal and encouragement and support are two strong pillars of it.</p>

<h3><strong>Check With Them About Their COVID-19 Awareness</strong></h3>
<p>In such harsh times, we would recommend you to learn how to educate a child at home by yourself. As there&rsquo;s a lot of facts, fiction, and misinformation doing rounds on social media and TV about COVID-19. While we adults can filter the right and wrong information, children can&rsquo;t as they will believe everything they hear or see. Therefore, as adults you must sit down and ask your child about what he knows about coronavirus and where did he learn about it.</p>
<h3><strong>Create A Happy Environment At Home</strong></h3>
<p>All the information the children hear about the disease can be overwhelming for them. Being supportive parents is tough, you need to distract them so that the information doesn&rsquo;t cause them any worry. To create <a href="https://textfancy.com/text-faces/?c=happy">a happy</a> environment, you need to think from your child&rsquo;s perspective and create situations in which he feels happy. Have a game night after dinner or watch a movie together at night. You can even cook meals together. This way you&rsquo;re ensuring your child is distracted from all thoughts.&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>Keep A Watch On Your Child&rsquo;s Behavior</strong></h3>
<p>Situations like these can cause anybody to start panicking and this is not the time to show any signs of fear. You need to keep an eye on your child&rsquo;s behavior to ensure that he isn&rsquo;t behaving abnormally. If there&rsquo;s any mismatch in your <a href="https://www.orchidsinternationalschool.com/blog/positive-behaviour-kids">child&rsquo;s behavior</a> now as opposed to the one before the lockdown, then you need to speak to your child and calm him down.</p>
<h2 id="Conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
<p>The pandemic affected everyone but for kids who were just starting out to socialize with their friends and peers, it has been a tough few months. Support your children with all your heart. Remember, children always look up to adults for safety and security. Now is the time for you to provide extra care, safety, and security with a a little ray of hope everyday!</p>
