Try taking 20 minutes doing something the kids choose – like playing a game or reading - together with them.

No 📱 or 📺 so you can focus on them.

Quality time will make them feel safe & loved.

Exercise helps kids with a lot of energy (and adults) to de-stress when we #StayAtHome .

Let your child choose the 🎶 and have a 10-minute dance! You might even impress them with your moves! 💃🏽🕺🏽👯

#ParentsDay
Catch bad behaviour early & redirect your kids' attention from a 👎🏽 to a 👍🏽 behaviour.

Clear, positive instructions get us the behaviour that we want.
Swap ‘don’t make a mess’ for ‘please put away your pens’

Praise is powerful.

Try praising your child or teenager for something they have done well.
Do it in a genuine way.

They may not show it, but you’ll see them doing that good thing again.

#ParentsDay
A structured day helps kids feel secure and makes it easier to manage them.

Try making a timetable, with schoolwork, games, free time, exercise and handwashing.
Take charge of your days - routine up!

Crowded and messy home?
Kids crying?
Teenagers screaming?
Back-to-back online meetings?

Take a deep breath.
Take a break.
Do something for yourself.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of your children

Talk to your children about #COVID19.
It’s hard for them not to hear about it.

Silence & secrets do not protect our children. Honesty & openness do.

Think about how much they will understand. You know them best.
