Here are some top tips that will help you stay sane along with your kids and keep their mental health in check.

Talk to them, make sure you know what they’re thinking or feeling during the time when everyone is in the house. 

Ask them how they can help or what they want to do to feel better. See if they want any changes in their routines or schedules as they have time to adjust 

Look for signs if they are feeling depressed or anxious and notice changes in their behavior. Talk to them if you notice anything unusual during this time. 

Keep your kids connected to all their friends and relatives so they know the value of relationship and care. 

Make sure they keep up with the schedules. Have them get up at the same time and do tasks accordingly. Make sure the kids know their responsibilities and are focused. 

Keep the environment lighter with natural light so Vitamin D keeps coming in the house and boosts your energy level too. A brighter environment will keep the moods better too. 

Plan different activities such as yard games, board games or play something else inside the home or in the backyard. Allow them to play and also keep on home schooling them so they do not divert from their academic curriculum. 

Have them something extra to learn. Allow them to learn and explore new things in this extra time. It will enhance their creativity and will motivate them to know more about different things. Do not listen to news when your kids are around. We don’t want them to overhear all the depressing things going on in the world. 

Exercise with your kids! This will help you and your kids to stay sane. This will not only help you physically but mentally and emotionally too. Your mind will feel fresh and energetic during the day. Let the kids play outside multiple times during the day. Like hide any object and ask to find them and reward them with something such as their favourite meal. Or do a racing or kicking the ball competition to keep them active and on the go!
