In the modern-day, work is everything. Most people find it hard to imagine a world without work. Despite the fact that it has disturbed our daily routine completely, this lockdown has given us an opportunity to spend some quality time with our families by bringing some positive changes in our cultural and social habits.
Therefore to help you connect with your family better and to make this lockdown a memorable experience, here are some guidelines to help you adjust to this whole new rhythm of life.
Keep it alive- It is easy to get bored as you might run out of ways to kill time. This could lead to prolonged restlessness in your family, especially kids.
Here are some fun activities you can do to stay away from boredom.
1. Fun and exercise — Engage your family in board games or play cards. Try out online yoga classes or any other exercises that suit your taste.
2. Start cooking — this is the best time to learn some home skills and also instill the same in your children. So start cooking and become more self-reliant.
3. Arts & Craft — Help your kids explore creativity by asking them to make something out of stuff like old CDs, match sticks, ice cream sticks, etc.
Showing gratitude- Be thankful for having your family nearby in these trying times. This will unearth sensitivity and empathy in your children for those in need and not take life for granted.
Don’t be judgemental- You can easily get on each other’s nerves when you are confined at home. In such situations, it is essential to have a place where the family can come together to discuss, share their concerns, express their frustrations and opinions. Try to find solutions which will nourish your family and allow you to coexist with reasonability and understanding.
“Family” is defined by commitment and love. Hence, on this occasion of the International family day let us all resolve that once the pandemic is contained and the world is normal again, we all will have an indelible connection with our families
