Pandemic Pluses, 5
If you are a parent working remotely,
this is also a good opportunity to teach boundary-setting, and to set your own boundaries.
Some children are content to play quietly on the floor near a parent. Depending
on the age of the child, you can set a timer for a specific period. During that
time, the parent works, if remote working is occurring. When the timer goes
off, the child gets a few minutes of playing with the parents or some other
favorite activity. This can teach delayed gratification as well as looking
forward to a favorite activity. The sky is the limit. Success begins with a
mindset, however. The way in which you view this pandemic and how creatively
you approach “what is,” will be lessons that will remain with your child for a
lifetime.
