Consider the pros and cons. Go over the advantages of sending your children back to school. The best one is that classroom learning is still better than having the children learn from home. Also, your children benefit from socialising with peers and other adults at school. The school facilities are also much better for many activities. After that, consider the cons: is the level of community spread relatively high in your area? If your children have an underlying condition\u2014or someone in your family does\u2014then that increases the risk from COVID-19.<\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-model-main\">\n<div class=\"bg-overlay\">\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"14686\" class=\"elementor elementor-14686\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19fc422 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"19fc422\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"jet-popup-target elementor-element elementor-element-357539d elementor-align-center exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-jet-popup=\"{&quot;attached-popup&quot;:&quot;jet-popup-14690&quot;,&quot;trigger-type&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;trigger-custom-selector&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;loop-dynamic-popup&quot;:false}\" data-id=\"357539d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjI0MjIzIiwidG9nZ2xlIjpmYWxzZX0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">DOWNLOAD OUR SCHOOL OF THE FUTURE E-BOOK<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-w-id=\"e6b90f29-5dd8-7b60-3af4-a0e9b57f3aa7\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;e6b90f29-5dd8-7b60-3af4-a0e9b57f3aa7&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<strong data-w-id=\"89600e62-1602-d638-3356-d0c58bb1d5f0\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;89600e62-1602-d638-3356-d0c58bb1d5f0&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 data-w-id=\"1348272e-e418-4ba5-7548-8382afd1c5b6\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;1348272e-e418-4ba5-7548-8382afd1c5b6&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u25cf Keep Your Child at Home?<\/h4>\n<p data-w-id=\"3a58c1da-2c75-eb3d-7e1e-08b16cee702a\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;3a58c1da-2c75-eb3d-7e1e-08b16cee702a&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">If you think sending your children back to school is risky, then discuss virtual classrooms from home.

There are so many changes; it might often feel like you\u2019re drowning under so many things to adjust to or remember. Even when it feels overwhelming, though, make an effort to talk to your children. You\u2019re not the only one living through the pandemic. Children pick up a lot from their environment. They might not know the full extent of what a global pandemic means, but if you\u2019re worried and stressed over it, chances are they\u2019ll pick up on that, and they\u2019ll reflect those emotions too. Explain what\u2019s happening!<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"df3722ea-2829-16b2-a436-1abb2424ddf8\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;df3722ea-2829-16b2-a436-1abb2424ddf8&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">You don\u2019t need to make it into a doom\u2019s day announcement but be honest about it. Don\u2019t try to downplay the impact and possible risks of the virus because your children might not take it seriously, and that could put them in grave danger. Make sure they understand the risks.<\/p>\n<h4 data-w-id=\"bb524636-441f-2358-04ac-433b56c490a5\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;bb524636-441f-2358-04ac-433b56c490a5&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u25cf Encourage Friendships<\/h4>\n<p data-w-id=\"65fb8d4e-9588-9d00-2489-a8888d2ff298\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;65fb8d4e-9588-9d00-2489-a8888d2ff298&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">Whether you\u2019re sending your children to school or you\u2019re opting for virtual classes, it would be best if you encourage your children to stay connected with their friends and classmates. Connections help at this time. The virus has made it necessary for us to follow social distancing rules. While that translates to physical barriers, the goal is not to let those barriers get in the way of emotional connections. Even at school, your children will probably feel sad that they can\u2019t sit with their friends or that they can\u2019t come closer than what social distancing rules allow.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"49a77a4d-bf4c-dbcc-3fb9-5ee1535bb31d\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;49a77a4d-bf4c-dbcc-3fb9-5ee1535bb31d&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">If they\u2019re taking classes at home, it\u2019s even more important to stay connected with their friends. Virtual classes have made it easier for schools in Singapore to resume classes, but it\u2019s had an isolating result on many of the students. Talking to their friends and just basking in that connection will help your children get through the next few months as well.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"8e002bf0-21e0-39e5-590f-e9beaccfbef5\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;8e002bf0-21e0-39e5-590f-e9beaccfbef5&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<strong data-w-id=\"9e52c08c-a80c-6ffd-85ac-e6d56ed7606e\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;9e52c08c-a80c-6ffd-85ac-e6d56ed7606e&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 data-w-id=\"0ad5e2d0-2ad4-c7bb-4190-112fd233c105\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;0ad5e2d0-2ad4-c7bb-4190-112fd233c105&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u25cf Bring It Up<\/h4>\n<p data-w-id=\"30124a66-6e9b-9243-c43d-e52989a4a552\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;30124a66-6e9b-9243-c43d-e52989a4a552&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">Mention the fact that school is coming up.

Start getting them to bed earlier. That way, by the time classes start, their biological clocks would have already adjusted. This is especially useful for children who got into the habit of going to bed past midnight. That said, you can say something like: \u201cOkay, with the pandemic, you\u2019ve had a lot of screen time.

But do your children find masks troublesome? However, just forcing your children to wear masks isn\u2019t going to do it. Any parent who\u2019s been that drill knows how stubborn children can get. What you can do, though, is to strategize how you\u2019ll get your children to wear a mask. You could give them masks with child-friendly designs or masks that have their favourite cartoon characters. Peppa Pig masks, anyone? That will be an instant hit. You might even need to stop them from wearing the mask around the house.<\/p>\n<h4 data-w-id=\"6332f511-8135-8907-43ee-cf44bbf3f7e1\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;6332f511-8135-8907-43ee-cf44bbf3f7e1&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u200d<br data-w-id=\"LineBreak\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;LineBreak&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\" \/>\u25cf Create Your Own<\/h4>\n<p data-w-id=\"50b06d48-78de-2e1b-8a6d-f92558659441\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;50b06d48-78de-2e1b-8a6d-f92558659441&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">The masks can be itchy and annoying. If your children are going back to school, though, you want to make sure they always remember to keep the mask on. One way to help that is to create a mask in the material that they like. Pick something friendly for their skin. It\u2019s easy enough to make a DIY mask.

One way to help them cope is to make sure you are also showing them healthy coping behaviour. Try not to be stressed around them. Learn healthy ways to cope with the pandemic, and they\u2019ll follow your lead. Also, it would help if you attach a positive meaning to the pandemic. For instance, you can say: \u201cThis time hasn\u2019t been easy. But it\u2019s given us lots of time to have fun together!\u201d And that will help lift your child\u2019s spirits.<br data-w-id=\"LineBreak\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;LineBreak&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\" \/><br data-w-id=\"LineBreak\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;LineBreak&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\" \/><strong data-w-id=\"418b9cd5-24ee-9676-a258-8acc223ec5e5\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;418b9cd5-24ee-9676-a258-8acc223ec5e5&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">\u00a0<\/strong>You can help your child by first asking about their fears. Don\u2019t dismiss their concerns or jokingly make fun of them in an attempt to downplay the seriousness of the situation. Instead, try to reassure them. Ask them to tell you more about what they might be worried about. If your children are afraid, validate those feelings.<\/p>\n<p data-w-id=\"a6414202-7ca0-2dc7-bd43-ceead4d51d8f\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;a6414202-7ca0-2dc7-bd43-ceead4d51d8f&quot;]\" data-automation-id=\"dyn-item-blogs-description-input\">Tell them: \u201cI can understand why you feel this way\u2026\u201d and that sets the right tone for that conservation.
