Children and school post Lockdown.

I don't know how but I feel like this week passed quite fast, it was like 3 days before when we had our weekends and now here it is again. Anyway, I just had my supper and it was prepared by myself for the whole family.

As you have seen in my previous few articles I have covered some changes brought by the COVID19 one was about Work from Home prospect and the other was about Post lockdown and in today's column I am going to write the ways covid affect our children and what they need post lockdown.

But before I jump into the topic I would like to flex people who sponsor me and also express my gratitude to my readers, subscribers, upvoters, one who likes, and all the people on read.cash

Now it seems to us that everything is way like pre covid but the havoc it bred cannot be undone easily. The emotional breakdown people went through or frustrations, anxieties, trauma etcetera will take quite a time to recover from. The children (kindest and most emotional beings) are the ones affected in a way that will require delicacy to make them able to express themselves.

Various things that go around them and had to encounter at such a young age affected the mental state of most of them and as a result, many of them receded themselves to open up even to the family. Some children are very uncomfortable expressing their emotions to their parents or anyone or we can say that they are not much lucid about the emotions they are feeling. The point is not just the child it can be seen in adults too, many of them are inarticulate about their emotions.

Children when going through ebbs and flows of emotions or go through some negative emotions can be found receding themselves from their present state of mind, they are emotionally present in the surroundings but emotionally absent from it. Even if they want to reveal their emotions they are not able to confront them directly and just wishes if someone asks them about the things they feel and be there with them. Initially, it may be hard to know from the children about their emotions but with the right people and with the right conversation, they eventually express themselves. And when it comes to children we cannot risk them going the lane to anxiety or mental trauma, it can affect their growth or made them feel insecure about themselves.

Schools are the place where children learn and grow a lot, where they find their strengths or weaknesses, where they made friends, where they are around the people of their age group and that makes them feel or desire to open themselves and enjoy the freedom. And the teachers whom the children are around for 6-7 hours can notice their behaviours much more than their parents in some cases, definitely, it was needed considering some childrens' behaviour pre lockdown but the things they went through these two and half years bring many children into the spotlight to consider their behaviour, to connect them emotionally and make them feel like they are not just the students of the teacher but also a friend whom they can share a beautiful bond.

Post lockdown when the school has reopened it is the duty of the teachers to connect and co-operate emotionally with the students, rather than jumping onto the textbooks they need to ensure they are emotionally present in the class and also emotionally sound to themselves. They must let the students express their thoughts about the lockdown and their emotions. They should try to conduct some funny quizzes and activities where these children can participate and enjoy and connect themselves.

We also know that there are kids who do not want to express their thoughts in front of their class or in front of everyone and for that the teachers can prepare a questionnaire that resembles an activity and where the questions related to emotions or things that they can connect the students with and through which they can find the emotions of these children about how they felt, and what they feel right now.

In the end, I would like to congratulate myself for achieving the milestone of 1000views and I thank you all for helping me achieve this milestone.

Thank you and good night.
