In the face of children's panic, some parents told their children not to be afraid, but they were too nervous, which sent contradictory messages to their children. The correct way is to admit and accept your fears, and at the same time guide your children to understand and accept their nervousness, and avoid risks and reduce fears through scientific epidemic prevention measures and reasonable arrangements for life and study.
3. Work with children to study ways to obtain reliable information. The knowledge and information about the epidemic situation are overwhelming, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the information overload is serious. Information overload makes people drown in the sea of information, unable to search for correct, useful and key news in time, which not only increases the cost of obtaining effective information, but also causes knowledge anxiety. To reduce the adverse effects of information overload, we must learn to filter and use information. Guiding children to find effective information and learning the means and methods to obtain scientific and correct information are conducive to cultivating children's critical study habits. This habit is very important for children's autonomous learning and creative learning ability.
4. Learn the knowledge of self-protection. According to the epidemic prevention manual issued by National Health Commission, CDC and other authoritative departments, learn relevant self-protection knowledge and practice relevant protection skills. In particular, parents should take their children to repeatedly demonstrate and practice personal hygiene and protection methods such as wearing masks and disinfection, and turn things in books into children's own knowledge and skills, which will have the effect of giving inferences.
5. Use crisis events to strengthen life education. Life education is a part that many parents ignore when educating their children. Children can be inspired to imagine and feel the fragility of life and the pain of disease through some news reports and popular science materials. Let children know the importance of health and the irreversibility of life. Can create some virtual dangerous situations, such as fire, earthquake, strangers following, etc. Through discussion and role-playing games, children can learn some common sense of life protection by adjusting their reaction patterns. Children can also be organized to play related games through the Internet, and parents can participate and guide comments. The effect will be more vivid and the child's memory will be stronger.
