Today when I see that we all are bound to be at home all the time due to covid-19. The most affected ones are our school going children. Earlier they used to go to school from mornings till afternoons. After that when they come home they used to watch limited amount of TV or mobile. My son who is in grade 8 also have had same routine. He used to meet his friends in school. Play in school playground. 

All these things have become things of past. Now my son is all the time on mobile, his screen time has increased. Same will be with all the children around the world. 

Children due to staying at home all the time had no physical activity. Due to which their health is at stake. My son wear glasses now as his eye sight got weak. He has gained weight.

At times children feel bored, to entertain them or to lessen their screen time. So that at least for leisure activity they don’t use gadgets what I do with my son is I sit with him discuss how was his day today, what all his teacher teaches him, have he done his homework? and so on.

I play indoor games with him like playing cards to reduce his boredom.You should also try and be more interactive with your children, spend quality time with them, ask them how they are feeling. 

Like this they feel better. Engage them in some exercise daily. There are many exercise videos you can find on internet. Watch them and exercise along them.

I hope you find my blog useful. With more such interesting topics I will see you soon.
