The COVID-19 pandemic is having an impact on the health of our loved ones, the businesses we rely upon, the health of the global economy, and the way we live our daily lives. As we all continue to navigate through these unique and evolving challenges, we want you to know that we are here for you when all return to life as we know it.<\/p>\n<p>We will be spending a lot of time at home in the next few weeks. Here&#8217;s the second part in our bumper guide of how to make the most of lockdown.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get things done<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Feeling as though something has been accomplished during an isolation period will be important for both children and their parents. It could include working from home, school assignments or setting sights on long-avoided chores, repairs or tasks. Families should consider things they can do together \u2013 like planning for a movie night, taking on a large project such as building something together, or even rearranging the furniture.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Give each other space<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Try to think of things you can do by yourself and as a family. It can be hard for families who are used to all going off to their own activities being forced into this intense time. That\u2019s why when you\u2019re on family holiday you\u2019ll sometimes see kids squabbling \u2013 they\u2019re not used to being in the same space. Create spaces in the house, if possible, like little zones \u2013 &#8216;This is our game zone. This bean bag with a headset is our chill-out corner.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>While respecting time alone is important, it could also be a time for creating or reconnecting with family rituals. This might be as simple as a proper sit-down family meal, perhaps with a new recipe the kids have been involved in preparing.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Stay in touch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another critical component of good mental state is feeling connected to others. This time, technology is our friend. Connecting and making time for friends on social media or over the phone will be critical for adults. Also important\u00a0 is reciprocal social support \u2013 reaching out to others to make sure they are OK.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Learn from the experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Get a new perspective. Gain a lot more respect for what doctors and nurses do.\u00a0 Appreciate more what the police do.\u00a0 Understand teachers and their patience, because it\u2019s hard to teach kids. Let this time help you. Think, become a better parent. Become a better human being.\u00a0 &#8220;Be kind\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an unprecedented time in our history.
