 Topic of the Day
Healthy Parenting during COVID-
19 Scenario
 COVID-19: Healthy Parenting
Structure Up
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.

• Create a flexible but consistent daily routine.

• Teach your child about keeping safe distances.

• Make handwashing and hygiene fun.

• You are a model for your child’s behaviour.

• 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!
 COVID-19: Healthy Parenting
Talking about COVID-19
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.

• Be open and listen. Allow your child to talk freely. Ask them open questions and find out how much they already know.

• Be honest. Always answer their questions truthfully. Think about how old your child is and how much they can
understand.

• Be supportive. 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.

• It is OK not to know the answers. 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!

• Heroes not bullies. 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.

• End on a good note. Check to see if your child is okay. Remind them that you care and that they can talk to you anytime.
Then do something fun together!
 COVID-19: Healthy Parenting
Keep Calm and Manage Stress
This is a stressful time. Take care of yourself, so you can support your children.

• 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.

• 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!

• 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.

• 1-minute relaxation activity that you can do whenever you are feeling stressed or worried.

• Step 1: Set up
• Step 2: Think, feel, body
• Step 3: Focus on your breath
• Step 4: Coming back
• Step 5: Reflecting
 COVID-19: Healthy Parenting
One-on-One Time
School shutdown is also a chance to make better relationships with our children and teenagers. One-on-One time is free
and fun. It makes children feel loved and secure, and shows them that they are important.

• Set aside time to spend with each child.

• Ask your child what they would like to do.

• Switch off the TV and phone. This is virus-free time.

• Listen to them, look at them. Give them your full attention. Have fun!
 COVID-19: Healthy Parenting
Keeping it Positive
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.

• Say the behaviour you want to see.

• Praise your child when they are behaving well.

• 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.

• Help your teen stay connected.

 COVID-19: Healthy Parenting
Bad Behaviour
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.

• Catch bad behaviour early and redirect your kids’ attention from a bad to a good behaviour.

• Feel like screaming? Give yourself a 10-second pause. Breathe in and out slowly five times. Then try to respond in a
calmer way.

• 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.

• One-on-One time, praise for being good, and consistent routines will reduce bad behaviour.
