COVID 19 Impact On Lives of Adults

With the increasing threat of coronavirus spread worldwide, it is now only safe to be at home. People having privileges to work from home can manage with their jobs and people who need to come out of their homes for their business need to more careful. With the unlock phases on we have also slowly and steadily started with our daily work-life routine with many changes in it.

The impact of COVID 19 has all started from mid-March and life has started to live with abnormalities. Locking ourselves at home and continuing our lives just like the animals in the zoo have drained us both mentally and physically. Still, for we adults, we do understand the need of staying at home not following the normal routines and trying to manage everything possible that can let us stay safe and healthy.
But for the kids its way more difficult and complex. They have not yet completely seen and experienced the complications of the world. For them, it’s a happy place to do whatever they want to.

What about Kids? How are they coping up?

Kids are on their own battlefield. It is very difficult for younger kids to understand what’s going on all around and why they are not allowed to follow their normal routine. The age-group of 3-8 are considered best for the development of a child’s mental health. And if we hinder their normal cycle of growing up it may affect their mental growth as well.
So, as parents, it is our responsibility, even in this lockdown to make the child feel as normal as possible. Even if the kids are at home, parents need to dedicate a good amount of time towards them and keep the kid mentally and physically engaged with activities like proper interaction, playing games that involve both physical and mental engagement, reading books, and continuing with their education which is very much important.
