Talking to your child about the Coronavirus Disease

Your child has questions regarding the Coronavirus disease. We at Ekya Schools believe how you respond to your child is more important and crucial than just providing the answers. Here’s how you can motivate your child to stay positive in the midst of the Covid-19 outbreak by encouraging them to follow these simple yet effective steps.
Track your child’s health 
·        Check for symptoms of COVID-19, particularly fever, cough, or shortness of breath.
·        If your child shows symptoms of Covid-19, keep him/her at home and keep them isolated from others.
·        If there are signs of illness similar to that of Covid-19 such as cough, cold, fever, and breathlessness, you must ensure your child is kept indoors or at home. You can follow the WHO guidelines on “Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) advice for the public.”

Strengthening precautionary actions with teaching 
·       As a parent, encourage your child to sanitize his/her hands. Educate your children on why handwashing can help curb the virus from transmitting to others.
·       Wash your hands in front of your child to reinforce the importance of having clean hands.
Spend more time with your child
·       With limitations of space, it could be a stressful time for your child. Find some time to spend a couple of minutes outside. Get some fresh air in a safe environment.
·       Take a few activity breaks during the day to keep your child healthy and focussed.
Stay connected 
·       Let your child be socially connected with family and friends via call or video chat.
·       Be supportive of your children if they show signs of stress. Discuss and listen to the social and emotional needs of your child.

The Youngest Story-Makers

Storytelling is within us. We know how to hook and reel in our listener from the time we are very young. We read body language and adjust our eyes and our tone and our sounds, drawing and stretching and pausing and letting our voices rise and fall, all from the time we are old enough to string words together. My littlest learners, the not-yet three year olds, will draw me in: “My Little Pony is crying because she is sad.” Ananya is drawing big blue circles falling from her pony’s face. Why is she sad? Because her friend is sad. But why is her friend sad? Because she lost her favourite shoe. When we support our youngest learners, believe that they can make books without even knowing yet how to read, without knowing even the sss of s-a-t-p-i-n, without being able to use a tripod grip yet, they will surprise us.
