The 4 best parenting hacks you should try
Try these tips for better parenting in the new normal
Whether
we’re ready for it or not, parenting definitely changed during the pandemic. As
everyone has to work or take classes at home for their health and safety, the
needs of a parent have evolved.
If you’ve been struggling a little
to match the demands of parenting in the new normal, worry not—here are a few
tips to help you adapt to these times.
1. Set a
schedule
Make a plan for yourself and help
your kids plan their day. First, organize your day so you can focus better on
your necessary tasks. Then, help your kids organize their day so that the
important things during their online classes are prioritized. This will allow
them to look forward to relaxing and unwinding after all the schoolwork is
done. When kids know they have some rest and recreation time to look forward
to, they’ll be able to participate better in their remote learning.
2. Encourage healthy routines in the household
Maintaining a proper and healthy lifestyle is
considered to be one of the most important things you can do to achieve good
physical, mental, and social well-being — especially in the new normal. A fun
activity you can do with your kids is exercising regularly. To make it more
interesting, instead of the usual exercises, try exploring games that’ll make
them break a sweat such as DIY obstacle courses, treasure hunts, and many more.
Be creative!
3. Take a
midday shower
One good way to refresh your kids and
keep them going is to have them take a quick shower in the middle of the day,
preferably after lunch. You can do it too! It gets rid of the midday fatigue
that’s built up from staring at a screen all morning, and it will energize them
(and you) for the rest of the day.
4. Bond over
activities and food
There are many moments in this
pandemic where your kids will need you to be there for them. You need to set
aside time in the day to give them your complete and undivided attention.
Try playing fun activities and games with your kids and see
how much stress can be lifted every day. Bond over mealtimes with food that
will make them happy, such as Jollibee’s Jolly Spaghetti! The meatiest,
cheesiest, and sweet-sarap na walang katulad taste of Jolly Spaghetti will make
these moments truly memorable! It’s always better to put a smile on their face
with their favorite food while spending time at home.
