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

Catch bad behaviour early and redirect your kids' attention from a bad to a good 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.

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?

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.

However, global equitable vaccine solution is good for everyone and will bring economic benefits to all: bit.ly/3gXLh5R
#COVAX is the first-ever mechanism for the most vulnerable people everywhere to get life-saving #COVID19 vaccines in a pandemic.

@gavi US$6.8b is needed in 2021 to secure access to #COVID19 vaccines for 92 low- and middle-income countries so they can get their vaccines at the same time as anyone else.
