Schools are taking efforts to train teachers to help parents ease their burden. The added advantage is parents are now able to see the live performance of classes and how their children respond.

Protection: With the view to control the pandemic situation everyone across the globe was restricted to be safe at homes. Following safety measures and guidelines during pandemic is mandatory. Absolutely less commuting, maintaining social distance, wearing masks, and other preventive measures is leading us to cope with the situation. It’s now an individual’s responsibility to be safe and let others be safe. Schools are on the verge of beginning classes for which protection of children is the main priority than the staff and school as a whole. Timely sanitization, orientation to kids, parents and staff regarding Covid 19 preventive measures to be strictly followed.

Prepared: Before Covid 19 was diagnosed, no individual would have been prepared for the situation. Be prepared for any situation; learn to trust the system and for oneself take the sole responsibility to take precautions. Be prepared for the worst. The school campus will be prepared well ensuring quality safety for children during regular classes in near future. This might bother many parents about the safety of their children. For smaller ones it’s even hard to convince them to wear masks full-time and parents can’t be with them 24*7 to monitor. Teachers and staff will be available to support the cause fully, and parents can entrust their kids in their assistance.

Practice: Adapting to the new normal is the trend. Though the Covid situation has resulted in boredom, stress, frustration, unusual eating habits, less physical activity, increased aggressiveness and overall affected children’s behaviors including elders at home. Keeping fit, strong and healthy practices in diet was the beginning. This practice is continued along with stress management and balancing household chores, office work and study hours. Scheduling time for each task and activity would help the situation.

Promising: Without pain there is no gain; without hope there is no future. In this situation being behind the four walls at home has increased boredom and children have found the best way to pass time on digital screens. These habits can be controlled as too much exposure to screens might lead to addiction and reduced interest in academics. Educate and motivate your children to strictly follow Covid guidelines. Even celebrations like birthdays and festivals were this time celebrated on a small scale with only home people and homemade cake and food. It may not have been pleasing for kids but gradually they have understood the situation and have accepted the new normal.

To sum up there is time for every successful event. So let’s work in collaboration in helping our kids to be optimistic and stay healthy. At this point of time it’s essential we forget all differences, negative experiences and move on. With new vigor let’s begin afresh to endeavor new adventures and prepare the younger generation with necessary skills to face the forthcoming future.
