beginning to settle, almost a year-long lockdown has been lifted and schools
are reopening for students to go and study in on the condition that they still
strictly follow the COVID-19 restrictions, but are they ready?

situational condition such as lockdown and online classes for a long time, they

conditions is hard for them.

education?
Helping children return to school
Talk: - Children might have the fear of
getting infected with the virus or how they are going to cope with the
restrictions in their school, it’s pretty natural and common for a child to be
afraid because face it, even adults are still scared of the virus, so it’s
understandable.
Parents can help their children by
telling them to think of ways in which they can manage the new normal; they
should know that their parents understand that it’s difficult for them to
return to school.
One as a parent should gently start
the conversation telling that they are always here for their child. That way
the child will be more confident in returning to school.
Sleep schedule: - Children may have disturbed their
sleep schedule during the lockdown because they were at home all the time, but
now since schools have opened, they must be ready again for a sleep schedule.

overall development of a child, whether it’s online school because some points

Coping strategy: - This is used when dealing with
stress and anxiety; it includes talking to friends and family, exercising, and
using breathing techniques to relax the mind, when parents are comfortable,
they can share their feelings about the COVID-19 situation with their child and
coping strategies that they are using to manage such feelings.
They should agree with their child
and say that it’s okay to feel anxious about going back to school; they can
share a situation from their life where they felt anxious about a new
experience. To add to the child’s confidence parents can motivate by saying
that, don’t think too much and enjoy the present.
Be available for the child: - Parents should know that their
children may come to share their returning experience at an unexpected time,
thus they need to make some space for parents-children talk.
Some suggestions would be to talk
when taking a walk together or when teaching them to cook. Remember listening
is very important, just because children look okay doesn’t mean that they are
okay.
Be positive about it: - Parents can talk to their children
about what they loved about the lockdown and what they are looking forward to
when going back such as which favorite places will they go to? At which park
will they meet their friends? Talking about these things will make them feel
happier about going back to school.
