Home confinement has led to many disturbing moments between parents and children. They have been influenced by the role of being possible receptors and transmitters of the COVID-19 virus and many of them have seen it as something alert and new for them. The lack of refinement in children has led them to go out and face many of the fears that we all commonly have.
In many of these children he outlines the idea that the street has become another environment that if we go out, we can catch something malicious. They have created that inner fear and many no longer dare to leave home. Lack of refinement in children has become a small problem for some households.
How has the lack of refinement been in the children?
This exit abroad has been taken with various acceptances and with implanted measures that they do not like for the freedom they want to feel. Children have to go out accompanied by their parents, for an hour and a half and no more than a kilometer from their home.
The proposal has been accompanied by a series of tips for children to abide by rules, among them: they should not come into contact with objects, or with other people and less with playmates and class. The distance to be able to communicate is one and a half meters and with a derivative phrase they must understand, which is to avoid contagion and not spread the virus.
Many children have felt the excitement of being able to go out, grab their scooters, balls and give free rein to the game. But for others have felt the resignation of going abroad for the fear that has been created in such a situation.
The diversity of cases and emotions have been very disparate, in general, most of these little ones have had symptoms of stress, for not mentally channeling what is happening. Among these symptoms they have developed headaches, stomach aches, and shortness of breath. For older children, this anxiety has created intense fear, nightmares, frequent and sudden mood swings, and crying for no apparent reason. For others who are more silent, this cannot manifest itself naturally, they have to express their feelings, they have to Talk to them to see if they feel distressed.
How should we help for a natural de-refinement?
You have to talk to them and give them security, explain that their health is not in danger. Obviously this comes with the set of measures that they have to devise so that there are no infections, but first of all that you have to convince them that they are going to leave, and they are going to enjoy their games.
You have surely heard that they are the greatest transmitters and that it can affect your asymptomatic state to infect people who do not deserve it, such as your own grandparents. It is necessary to review this idea that they are not the main responsible for this effect, you have to take that weight off them.
In this de-escalation Give time to time. This idea must be expressed with little pessimism and that everything will return to normal. With creativity it can be explained to them that now is the moment of deconfinement is only one step for such a process, you have to follow a series of rules and give way to a little adventure.
If the time has come and the child does not want to go out, it is not convenient to force them. Many children may even find themselves not wanting to go out. Probably your house will be giving you much more security, but do not be alarmed, it will be something temporary and until everything is normal they have probably changed their minds.
