Here are some other tips you can read and find if you are carrying them out.

1. Create a routine early

Plan a rough daily routine with times for different activities: school work, exercise, chores, creativity or free play, and time on digital devices.

Have you got a daily routine?

2. Do exercise

Many sporting activities have been cancelled for this season. Yet exercise is critical for young people’s physical and mental health. 

Think creatively about the activities you can do when confined to the home. Opportunities for exercise might include a circuit in the backyard, an obstacle course through the house, physically active video games (dance, fitness, boxing), or kid-friendly dance and kids yoga classes on YouTube.

Do you practise any kind of physical activity?

3. Stay social

Social distancing measures reduce children’s capacity to socialise with friends. You can continue using social media to bond with friends and peers, but to take regular breaks and share their bigger worries with parents. 

Supervised FaceTime, Zoom or Skype play-dates may also help provide this connection. And children can write letters or draw cards to then photograph and send digitally to friends and family.

How are you staying social?

4. Think beyond Netflix (más allá de Netflik)

You could find children games and skills you enjoy (such as cooking, chess, coding or science experiments). Virtual excursions promote interest and learning, and these are offered by many museums and zoos around the world. 

Have you tried any of these?

What are you and your family doing? What other things could you do? How is it going? What do you hope for you, your family and friends?
