In this episode,I am covering the topic which I think everyone is facing in today’s life and it’s become new normal to all of us. And most of the mothers including me already started to live the life with that and trying our child also to settle with this schedule, it’s none other than Covid-19. I would like to start this episode with my Story, let me share my experience when this lockdown started and how I dealt with this situation. It all started when we heard about this Corona Virus starting in January and in everyday news we used to heard about this Virus spreading in Other Parts in India and around the world. it entered completely but in starting week of March it started spreading all over India.

Because of this I think the most worried person even can be is all across the world Mothers, since we are worried because of our kids will get infected if they will go out, and mostly worried because of school. But when we mothers heard about even schools are getting closed and no need to send them, it’s a great relief for all of us. But simultaneously we mothers started thinking how to engage our kids at home and how to deal with them when they will be continue stay indoor? I think that was a question mark for everyone.

My daughter stopped going to school since then Govt has taken the step to shut down and keep complete lockdown till the time situation become normal. Initial few days are quite ok and my daughter was also enjoying her holidays. But after few days everyday becomes a normal routine and it’s become a very boring for her. Although We all have started to accept the fact that schools are shut and The thought of staying at home with kids during the Covid-19 lockdown has built up a certain level of stress and anxiety for mothers. We are already into a pandemic and if we mothers keeps on thinking about this issue, we will definitely fall sick mentally also. Hence I have decided to take this process sportingly and started engaging my daughter in various activities in fun way. 

Children are quite observant about what it is going on in their surrounding environment. Regardless of age, every kid is aware that the lifestyle has currently taken a pause and can sense that the adults around them are at unease. Set up a schedule for waking up, eating, and learning activities and fun things to do. This will help you as well as the kids to feel normalcy while also maintaining discipline.
