Corona virus has brought families together. People have enough tome to stay at home together which was very difficult to manage keeping in view the hustling and bustling of daily routine.

How can we utilize this time?

Family Time

We have ample time to talk to our loved ones. Listen to them. Speak your heart out. Tell them how important they are for you because I believe we should give words to our expressions. You can make up for the misunderstanding that are caused by mis communication . You can develop better bonding with your family members.

Kids Time

The kids are having the happiest times of their lives as their parents are with them. In daily routines, parents are so busy in their jobs just to give their kids a good life and education that they don’t get time to spend with their kids. Either dad is busy or mother has a lot of house hold chores. This is the time to understand your kids , their need and what do they want? What makes them happy? What is their aim in life and how can they achieve that ?

Teaching Kids

Kids are at home. They can’t go to tuitions. So it is good time to help your kids in ther studies. You will come to know in which subject they are strong and which subject is their weakest ? You can help them be better at it. It is the time for you to help them in making up for their deficiencies. I know it is very difficult to make kids study during these vacations. And who knows better than I !

Indoor Games

Indoor Games are a good way of engaging all the family members and show their collective strenght and unity. You can play ludo,chess,carrom board or monopoly ect. Hide and seek is also a good options and it can be played indoors. My kids love to play it. And not to forget video games. You can play lots of lots of video games with you kids.

Art Work

Drawing competitions can be held between kids and parents . It is a good pass time and kids love it too. Moreover it gives a chance to know your kid’s talent.

Read Books

It is time to read books and develop a habit of book reading in your kids as it is becoming rare with ever increasing use of social media. You can read good story books to your kids at bed time.

Exercise

It is the need of the hour to keep fit to fight this deadly virus. Exercise along with your kids to boost the immune system and stay healthy.

Watch Movies

You can watch good movies and enjoy along with your family and kids with pop corns in hand . If we can’t go to cinema , we can have same fun at home with our family.

Cooking

This break has given us a chance to experiment different cuisine. Cook as a family and engage your kids as well. Make favourite meal of one family member every day. You are going to enjoy it a lot and kids will also learn to take responsibility.

Social Media

Last but not the least social media is always there to keep you informed and entertained. You can keep in touch with your family and friends through it. You can gain and spread knowledge about corona virus through it.

Hopefully we will get over this situation soon with collective efforts very soon. Then we will return to our daily routines but the memories that we can make in these times with our family will cherish us forever. I know it is difficult for some people including me too but nothing is impossible or should I say we don’t have any other choice! But I know one thing that it is for our betterment and protection.
