Tips for parents of young children who have lost access to daycare due to the war
The war in Ukraine has forced many families with young children to leave their homes and lose access to their normal lives, including daycare.
This can be very challenging for children, as daycare is a place where they interact with other children, learn, and develop.
How can you help your child adapt to the new situation?
Establish a daily routine
It's important for the child to have a clear daily routine, even though you are not at home.
This will help them feel more confident and calm.
Wake up at the same time every morning, eat and play at the same time during the day, and go to bed at the same time every night.
Provide opportunities for social interaction
It's crucial for the child to interact with other children.
This can be through communication with friends and relatives, as well as with other children who have also lost access to daycare.
You can organize joint games, walks, and activities.
Engage with your child
It's important for the child not to lose the skills they acquired in daycare.
Engage in activities such as reading, drawing, sculpting, music, and dancing with them.
Be patient
It's important to understand that adapting to the new situation may take time.
Be patient with the child, do not scold them for being cranky or whiny.
Seek help
If you feel that you cannot cope with the situation on your own, seek help from a psychologist.
