Dusk - Sudiptaa Bhattacharya The sky, Change its form. I sit alone, On a roof by norm. Just as a ritual, As they fly casual. They are the birds, That passed, bidding adieu, To the day.
Children in Lockdown
We all are going through a tough time,a phase of transformation.Very suffocating these days are in all respect,socially,economically and many more,irrespective of anything.Grownups can somehow withstand the situation,at least they can understand.But what about the children?Going to school and having fun with others of that same age and innocence is past,going to the park in the evening is no more happening.There has been a lot of new things that paved their way to the lives of the kids.Let us make the life easier for them with refreshing activities at home only,so that they don't suffer boredom. Make the best use of present - Make a schedule for them.Its natural that they will not maintain it but force them neither,just try to make it their habit.Not all lessons are written in books,make the best use of the time by putting good habits in them so that they can become a good human being in future(earth needs good human being).Many kids these days are facing online classes.This is already another very hectic activity for them.Observe them very closely.Notice,what the individual kid is fond of doing.Encourage,rather support them in that way.If I am not wrong,most of the kids are very talkative.Listen to their words and while conversing try to shower them with words of little valuable lessons of life,obviously not in very serious way but in the mood of that innocence within the kid.Don't make any do's or don't's forcefully mandatory in the life of kids.They might like to play or paint or sing or exercise or just roam about in the morning and like to study a little bit in the evening.That's absolutely fine,don't force them.Its the duty of the elder's to make them complete their works in a short period of time.Use intellectual tactics so that they feel interest to study.This lockdown situation has already made them nagging,don't make them more cranky by forcing them for anything. Refreshment at home - Play indoor games like ludo,chess,memory game or anything of that sort.These kinds of games not only provides them with fun and enjoyment but in turn sharpens their intellect and memory.It has become the problem of every family that they are unable to reach the near kinsman physically.Children are not exceptional in this regard.May be they can't express but they miss the most.It might be anybody like,grandparents,uncle,aunt,cousins.In that case make use of the opportunities like video calling. Provide them with story books,reading habit is one of the best habits.Not all kids show interests in reading but they love to listen to stories.There is also ways for them.Take the help of internet for searching the audio of stories for your kid.If the stories are portrayed in animation,then its amazing.In the evening kids can be provided with outdoor games in roof or in garden of your house,if possible. Kids will undoubtedly love to nurture nature,because their nature within is soft.If there is garden at your home or few trees in the verandah or in the roof or window,make your kid shower water there,help them in giving fertilizers and manure.Help them to put a pot of water and broken biscuits in the roof or in window or balcony so that, birds can eat or drink.Love,nourish nature in any way.I can guarantee that this would be the activity that they would enjoy the most.
Children are blessings
All children are blessings beyond any discrimination.They are the future of our planet,mother earth.Its our duty to give comfort and a sound upbringing to all kids.In this pandemic we all are suffering. The kids not knowing what is happening in the surrounding are also victimized.These are just certain simple ways that I tried to share with elders for the kids who are very dear to them.
thoughtful and informative ♥️
