Socializing Kids during Social Distancing
by Sarah LyonsContinued...
Celebrate milestones
Birthdays, graduations, weddings, and other special occasions still come and go whether we are in quarantine or not. Show a friend you care by planning a birthday parade, putting a sign in their yard, delivering balloons, or dropping off a gift. Traditional celebrations may not be possible right now but that doesn’t mean you can’t show you care.
Create a club
Is your child into gaming? Reading? Chess? Encourage them to start a club and host it in a video conference call such as Zoom or Facebook Messenger. This is a great way to get together without exposing yourself or your kids to germs.
We are in an unique situation and parents can’t rely on past experience to help them determine how to handle our current circumstances. Parents are having to get creative, use technology, and come up with unique ways to help their kids stay healthy and connected.
Sarah Lyons is a stay at home wife and mother of six children, including 18 month old triplets. Using creative consequences with her kids has improved their behavior and encourages healthy relationships with each other.
