Parents can list the specific practices of "preventing diseases" with their children according to the existing scientific data, and can specify under what circumstances they need to wash their hands, how to disinfect after going out, how long to exercise every day, and how to drink water and eat.
3. For older children, they have learned the epidemic information through mobile phones and TV, but they may not know it so thoroughly.
4. When the child is upset, parents need to listen patiently and tell him that this time is really difficult, and irritability is a normal reaction. Your acceptance will help children accept their emotions like a mirror and gradually restore calm; If parents can't listen patiently, but are eager to refute, reason or even reprimand, this will only escalate children's negative emotions.
5. Try not to show negative emotions such as fear, worry and complaint about the epidemic in front of children, and try to keep your emotions stable, which is conducive to the establishment of children's sense of security.
6. If the child has negative emotions, parents should not blame the child for cowardice, but let the child know that it is normal to have all kinds of negative emotions in special periods, and adults will have similar emotions, thus encouraging children to learn to accept their own bad emotions.
7. In addition, parents can lead their children to write diaries, doodle, sing, do handicrafts, origami and so on. Let children learn reasonable ways to solve negative emotions. For example, children can draw their fears and worries on one piece of paper, and then draw a scene of "Everything is getting better" on another piece of paper. After painting, guide the children to deal with these two pictures, so as to ease their emotions.
