<br />
Can’t go to work? Schools closed? Worried about money? It is normal to feel stressed and overwhelmed.<br />
<br />
School shutdown is also a chance to make better relationships with our children and teenagers.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
One-on-One time is free and fun. It makes children feel loved and secure, and shows them that they are important.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Set Aside Time to Spend with Each Child</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It can be for just 20 minutes, or longer – it’s up to us. It can be at the same time each day so children or teenagers can look forward to it.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Ask Your Child What They Would Like to Do</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Choosing builds their self-confidence. If they want to do something that isn’t OK with physical distancing, then this is a chance to talk with them about this. (see next leaflet)</div>
<blockquote>
Switch off the TV and phone. This is virus-free time</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Ideas with Your Baby/Toddler</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Copy their facial expression and sounds</li>
<li>Sing songs, make music with pots and spoons</li>
<li>Stack cups or blocks</li>
<li>Tell a story, read a book, or share pictures</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Ideas with your young child</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Read a book or look at pictures</li>
<li>Make drawings with crayons or pencils</li>
<li>Dance to music or sing songs</li>
<li>Do a chore together –  make cleaning and cooking a game</li>
<li>Help with school work</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Ideas with Your Teenager</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Talk about something they like: sports, </li>
<li>music, celebrities, friends</li>
<li>Cook a favorite meal together</li>
<li>Exercise together to their favorite music</li>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It‘s hard to feel positive when our kids or teenagers are driving us crazy. We often end up saying “Stop doing that!” But children are much more likely to do what we ask if we give them positive instructions and lots of praise for what they do right.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Say the Behavior You Want to See</i></h3>
Use positive words when telling your child what to do; like ‘Please put your clothes away’ (instead of ‘Don’t make a mess’)<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>It’s All in the Delivery</i></h3>
Shouting at your child will just make you and them more stressed and angrier. Get your child’s attention by using their name. Speak in a calm voice.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Praise Your Child When They are Behaving Well</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Try praising your child or teenager for something they have done well. They may not show it, but you’ll see them doing that good thing again. It will also reassure them that you notice and care.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Get Real</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Can your child actually do what you are asking them? It is very hard for a child to keep quiet inside for a whole day but maybe they can keep quiet for 15 minutes while you are on a call.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Help Your Teen Stay Connected</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Teens especially need to be able to communicate with their friends. Help your teen connect through social media and other safe distancing ways. This is something you can do together, too!<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3.  <u>Structure Up</u></b></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
COVID-19 has taken away our daily work, home and school routines.  This is hard for children, teenagers and for you. Making new routines can help.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Create a Flexible but Consistent Daily Routine</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Make a schedule for you and your children that has time for structured activities as well as free time. This can help children feel more secure and better behaved.</li>
<li>Children or teenagers can help plan the routine for the day – like making a school timetable. Children will follow this better if they help to make it. </li>
<li>Include exercise in each day - this helps with stress and kids with lots of energy at home.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Teach Your Child about Keeping Safe Distances</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>If it is OK in your country, get children outside.</li>
<li>You can also write letters and draw pictures to share with people. Put them up outside your home for others to see!</li>
<li>You can reassure your child by talking about how you are keeping safe. Listen to their suggestions and take them seriously.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Make Handwashing and Hygiene Fun</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Make a 20-second song for washing hands.  Add actions! Give children points and praise for regular handwashing.</li>
<li>Make a game to see how few times we can touch our faces with a reward for the least number of touches (you can count for each other).</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
At the end of each day, take a minute to think about the day.  Tell your child about one positive or fun thing they did. Praise yourself for what you did well today.  You are a star!</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>You are a Model for Your Child’s Behavior</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you practice keeping safe distances and hygiene yourself, and treat others with compassion, especially those who are sick or vulnerable – your children and teenagers will learn from you.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4.  <u>Bad Behavior</u></b></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHlx-X_goB9drwEen02DDyPnUQ_7dalCq8RBPj-2sefErJHN3xyIuAOUhri5JK5iQqGoeKqVKYqJuotnjmr9IPuf76p9cM-kLpsD0-lKUtBEYiKPPryY1CVIZs_vXWlPnCbjSaeShMbSbC/s1600/healthy-parenting-covid-19-tip-4-iftikhar-university.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Healthy Parenting in the Time of COVID-19, WHO Advice for Public - Iftikhar University" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1132" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHlx-X_goB9drwEen02DDyPnUQ_7dalCq8RBPj-2sefErJHN3xyIuAOUhri5JK5iQqGoeKqVKYqJuotnjmr9IPuf76p9cM-kLpsD0-lKUtBEYiKPPryY1CVIZs_vXWlPnCbjSaeShMbSbC/s640/healthy-parenting-covid-19-tip-4-iftikhar-university.jpg" title="Healthy Parenting in the Time of COVID-19, WHO Advice for Public - Iftikhar University" width="452" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All children misbehave. It is normal when children are tired, hungry, afraid, or learning independence. And they can drive us crazy when stuck at home.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Redirect</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Catch bad behavior early and redirect your kids’ attention from a bad to a good behavior.</li>
<li>Stop it before it starts! When they start to get restless, you can distract with something interesting or fun: “Come, let’s play a game together."</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Take a Pause</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Feel like screaming? Give yourself a 10-second pause.  Breathe in and out slowly five times.  Then try to respond in a calmer way.</li>
<li>Millions of parents say this helps - A LOT.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Use Consequences</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Consequences help teach our children responsibility for what they do. They also allow discipline that is controlled. This is more effective than hitting or shouting.</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Give your child a choice to follow your instructions before giving them the consequence.</li>
<li>Try to stay calm when giving the consequence.</li>
<li>Make sure you can follow through with the consequence. For example, taking away a teenager’s phone for a week is hard to enforce.  Taking it away for one hour is more realistic.</li>
<li>Once the consequence is over, give your child a chance to do something good, and praise them for it.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Keep Using Tips 1-3</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>One-on-One time, praise for being good, and consistent routines will reduce bad behavior.</li>
<li>Give your children and teens simple jobs with responsibilities. Just make sure it is something they are able to do. And praise them when they do it!</li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a stressful time. Take care of yourself, so you can support your children.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>You are Not Alone</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Millions of people have the same fears as us. Find someone who you can talk to about how you are feeling. Listen to them. Avoid social media that makes you feel panicked.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Take a Break</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We all need a break sometimes. When your children are asleep, do something fun or relaxing for yourself. Make a list of healthy activities that YOU like to do. You deserve it!<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Listen to Your Kids</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Be open and listen to your children. Your children will look to you for support and reassurance. Listen to your children when they share how they are feeling.  Accept how they feel and give them comfort.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Take a Pause</i></h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
1-minute relaxation activity that you can do whenever you are feeling stressed or worried</blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i> </i></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Step 1: Set up</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Find a comfortable sitting position, your feet flat on the floor, your hands resting in your lap.</li>
<li>Close your eyes if you feel comfortable.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Step 2: Think, Feel, Body</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Ask yourself, “What am I thinking now?”</li>
<li>Notice your thoughts. Notice if they are negative or positive.</li>
<li>Notice how you feel emotionally. Notice if your feelings are happy or not.</li>
<li>Notice how your body feels. Notice anything that hurts or is tense.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Step 3: Focus on Your Breath</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Listen to your breath as it goes in and out.</li>
<li>You can put a hand on your stomach and feel it rise and fall with each breath.</li>
<li>You may want to say to yourself “It’s okay.  Whatever it is, I am okay.”</li>
<li>Then just listen to your breath for a while.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Step 4: Coming Back</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Notice how your whole body feels. </li>
<li>Listen to the sounds in the room. </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Step 5: Reflecting</i></h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Think ‘do I feel different at all?’. </li>
<li>When you are ready, open your eyes. </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Taking a Pause can also be helpful when you find your child is irritating you or has done something wrong. It gives you a chance to be calmer.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Be willing to talk. They will already have heard something. Silence and secrets do not protect our children.  Honesty and openness do. Think about how much they will understand. You know them best.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Be Open and Listen</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Allow your child to talk freely. Ask them open questions and find out how much they already know.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Be Honest</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Always answer their questions truthfully. Think about how old your child is and how much they can understand.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Be Supportive</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Your child may be scared or confused. Give them space to share how they are feeling and let them know you are there for them.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>It is OK Not to Know the Answers</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is fine to say “We don’t know, but we are working on it; or we don’t know, ‘but we think’.”  Use this as an opportunity to learn something new with your child!<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Heroes Not Bullies</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Explain that COVID-19 has nothing to do with the way someone looks, where they are from, or what language they speak. Tell your child that we can be compassionate to people who are sick and those who are caring for them. <br />
<br />
Look for stories of people who are working to stop the outbreak and are caring for sick people.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">

From the evidence so far, the COVID-19 virus can be transmitted in ALL AREAS, including areas with hot and humid weather. Regardless of climate, adopt protective measures if you live in, or travel to an area reporting COVID-19. The best way to protect yourself against COVID-19 is by frequently cleaning your hands. By doing this you eliminate viruses that may be on your hands and avoid infection that could occur by then touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.</div>

There is no reason to believe that cold weather can kill the new coronavirus or other diseases. The normal human body temperature remains around 36.5°C to 37°C, regardless of the external temperature or weather. The most effective way to protect yourself against the new coronavirus is by frequently cleaning your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or washing them with soap and water.</div>

Taking a hot bath will not prevent you from catching COVID-19. Your normal body temperature remains around 36.5°C to 37°C, regardless of the temperature of your bath or shower. Actually, taking a hot bath with extremely hot water can be harmful, as it can burn you. The best way to protect yourself against COVID-19 is by frequently cleaning your hands. By doing this you eliminate viruses that may be on your hands and avoid infection that could occur by then touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.</div>

To date, there has been no information nor evidence to suggest that the new coronavirus could be transmitted by mosquitoes. The new coronavirus is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose. To protect yourself, clean your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or wash them with soap and water. Also, avoid close contact with anyone who is coughing and sneezing.</div>
