As the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the globe, a majority of countries have announced the temporary closure of schools, impacting more than 91 percent of students worldwide – around 1.6 billion children and young people.
Earlier parents had to push their child to go to school, but now things have changed as students want to join their school back and meet their friends. However, this is not the only reason students miss school. They miss being social; they miss the pre-covid activities. Somehow, it has affected their mental health differently. But we have to learn to live with it. Let us discuss.
The Covid-19 has shut schools all across the globe. Globally more than 1.9 billion students are out of their classrooms and shifted to E-learning. As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the phenomenal rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. The social life for the children has completely shut down, and the sudden shift in E-learning is affecting their lives in many ways. Online Classes are straining their eyes, making them mentally tired.
When educational facilities across India closed, many families struggled to keep their children’s education on track. It is not only affecting the children but also the parents. The outbreak of COVID-19 affected the lives of all sections of society as people were asked to self-quarantine in their homes to prevent the spread of the virus. The lockdown severely affects students’ mental health, developing depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders. Below are some tips to keep your toddler happy and healthy in these challenging times:

There are countless things you can do at home to keep your little one happy and healthy. Just add a little extra fun to every task you perform at home, ask them to take part in it they are going to love doing new things.
