A month without classes! What do I do with my kids? A new challenge, a new possibility promote reading and understanding of information, to donate building games, do homework, and organize activities consciously social are some of the issues taken up in this article lic. Mabel Del Giudice. A text to reflect, above all, to plan the routine of our children over the next month and make time for training, recreation and growth.
all know we're going through a time of emergency health and is important take care and care for our children.

Our place puts us back into "models to copy", meaning that if we speak with confidence about hygiene measures that must be carried and in addition we carry out, this will greatly aid made by the kids.
is also important to improve care in relation to the participation of ourselves and our children in social activities. While it may be uncomfortable, social gatherings and reduce the number of people with whom we have direct contact is an act of health care.
The question is how to organize during the month of suspension of classes because there is no colony rental, or group proposals where kids can go, it is not advisable to go to the movies, shopping, theaters ... The feeling of boredom seems to anticipate, but do not despair ...
Best is to review what we did when the kids were babies and not could go to nursery school because they were cold, there will surely appeal to grandmothers, aunts or friends who received the baby while we were performing work duties.
Now the boys are bigger and probably not require much attention, can become more autonomous in the pursuit of activities can be fair with some friends who are well-maintained measures of household hygiene and personal-use could be an adult to watch them.
boys attending school and need not be the same adult who is with them every day, this makes it easy to distribute an organized who will be with them every day. It is similar to the distribution of times you do with the "pools" of travel to school.
would also be advisable to speak in the workplace so that, within the required care, to organize the distribution of duties and the establishment of a diagram shifts to avoid confluence of people at one time or day. If this is achieved will facilitate the organization care of the kids.
These suggestions are linked to how the schedule arranged for the care of the kids. Some parents probably have other resources or ideas to achieve it. But ... what about the kids activities?
In principle it would be desirable to establish a routine schedule where it is issued to comply with obligations and time to relax. Teachers give homework to do in the coming weeks, should be ordered to perform hours trying to meet as an inescapable duty. You can add some activities to deliver at home, for example preparing reading a story to share just the mom or dad get home from work, note the news about the health issue, or social concerns and discuss them with parents at night, find specific information requested by the parents that may be of interest to the family as the price for a trip, places to visit when passing the emergency health, reviews of film and theater for choosing what to see in the future. These activities promote reading and understanding of conscious activity information keeping the kids and shared responsibility to perform.
is also desirable that the kids can propose practical activities where the performance of a product regulated as a game, toy, candles, jewelry, paintings, etc., which can treat yourself to an institution or families with greater needs. This type of task involves the social responsibility and citizen participation at various levels.
Many of these activities may be initiated by adults because not all children have natural interest in the practical activities, but taking into consideration the time advisable to be home more than at other times it is necessary to promote the exchange with new activities to convene the kids to be more entertaining.
Other resources such as watching movies, watching television or playing play station and are incorporated into the routine. The challenge these days is to establish a new routine where there is time to meet with school work and time to comply with new responsibilities but to invite the creation and actions beneficial to others as well.
The ability to "create" objects requires many expenses can be performed with disposable materials such as corks, magazines, glue, tempera, crealina or other inexpensive items. Production may take several days and the expectation that this product can be received by someone who needs it more general extra motivation.
A different aspect is to think what to do with their adolescent children, we know that it is difficult commit to actions like those described above and to renounce the meeting with other guys. The typical characteristics of aging are the omnipotence and disregard the advice of parents and this does not help in times of crisis like now.
Well ... patience ... again talks should be to assume that they have to be careful, you may want to consult what they want to do, after doing their homework and agree on what made their own and do with friends, always taking precautions to regard to health. It is important to watch the news with them to reflect on the situation we are going to make them aware possible risks.
Another suggestion is that parents can be coordinated with the group of friends to talk together and maintain the same speech for all, that teens will not find gaps for neglected and to think reflectively about what is happening.
These suggestions are possible alternatives, does not exhaust the possibilities, the fact is that it is important to use the network of affection from family and friends to organize schedules and to discuss their own concerns.
This is a time to learn to think and to sustain it with others.
A new challenge, a new possibility .... Mabel
