The pandemic has flipped the situation for everyone. Just like people are suffering in the work-from-home scenario, kids are also suffering when studying remotely. Consecutively for the second year, they are missing out on the experience of studying in school, getting involved in social activities & more.

Even though schools are trying their best to provide a comprehensive learning experience to students remotely, there is still a lot that cannot be incorporated into the virtual learning experience. Thus, the responsibility to provide students a complete learning experience falls on the parents’ shoulders. And though not much can be done due to the pandemic situation, here are a few things you can do to help your kids gain a wholesome learning experience while they are at home.

Make a routine

A disciplined routine is primary to your kids' growth. Besides online school & academics, you must incorporate ample playtime and time for reading & other leisurely activities. This way your kids can learn more as they grow. A routine helps your kids stay engaged all day long, leaving no time for them to get agitated & restless.

Keep their interest alive

Staying at home can shorten the span of your kids' attention in everything from studying to playtime. Thus it becomes your responsibility to ensure they stay interested in all they do, all day long. One way you can do it is by engaging with them, from assisting them in their studies to involving them in your daily household chores.

Encouragement is crucial

Staying home, it's hard for your kids to stay encouraged through the day. It thus becomes important that you keep boosting their morale with little activities here & there. A good way to do this is by getting involved with them & appreciating the little things they do. This way they stay motivated & learn new things positively.

Indulge in extracurricular activities

Your kids miss out on extracurricular activities when learning from home. It is an important part of their education and growth. It is thus crucial that you help them engage in such activities while at home. Inculcate activities like drawing, sports, reading & more in their daily routine. Make sure that these activities help your kids learn something new every day.

Explore their interests

Lastly, you must understand your kids' interests better. This will help you encourage their passions & help them grow better. The best way to do this is by indulging in conversations with your kids about their likes, dislikes, favorite subjects & more. If your kid is athletic, ensure that they get to indulge in their favorite sports as far as they can.

We hope these tips will help you provide your kids a better remote learning experience. Besides this, the most critical aspect is your involvement with your kids. Since they are mission out on new friendships, group activities & all the other fun they would get at school, they now require your support more than ever. You need to involve them in day-to-day tasks, not just to keep them busy but also to help them more. It is a good opportunity for you to bond with your kids better than ever & learn their likes better. We hope you use it to the fullest.
