Dr., on, relationships, social life, habits, etc. “while we are going through the Covid-19 epidemic through our own filter, it has become more difficult to understand this process for our children, whose daily routine has undergone a major change with the anxiety of losing functionality. For this, we must first check our psychological well-being, starting with our own mental health process as parents. A psychological state of good state means that a person is good in a mental, physical and spiritual sense. Children’s mental health, on the other hand, is that the child is well and develop in a mental, physical and emotional sense.

THE CHILD WANTS TO EXPLORE WITH CURIOSITY

“In this process, it is very important to create an environment in which the child can ask questions and receive answers with confidence. We can’t ignore that our children are looking for answers to many questions. The child wants to explore with curiosity. Every subject he hears, learns or wonders should be given simple answers using sentences appropriate to his age. In a situation where the parent does not know or has difficulty responding, he should not avoid this communication, he should definitely indicate that he does not know and will investigate to find out, he should be aware of the child’s concerns.”

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD IN ANXIETY AND CURIOSITY
Istanbul University Hospital psychologist, taking into account the current situation and the impact of the pandemic, stressed that every information covered up will cause anxiety and curiosity in the child. Explaining what needs to be done, every emotion the child experiences is accepted by the parent and supported by the comprehension process, summarized his suggestions as follows:
* The fact that working parents do not come into contact with the purpose of protecting children when they return home from work can lead to misunderstandings in the child. In order not to allow this situation, the child should be told about the repercussions of the pandemic in our daily lives in appropriate language.
* Comments and shares of parents about the pandemic should be simple and transparent, far from exaggeration. It should be noted that children cannot resist every negative sensation they are exposed to as much as adults, and they cannot make the correct Association because their abstract thinking skills do not develop.
* In this process, it is very important to learn how to look through the child’s window, communicate by going down to his eye level, and contact with sensitivity in mind.
* Children’s emotional and psychic patterns should be listened to and made easier to express. In order to manage the process correctly, messages indicating that our functionality continues in the home should be transmitted to the child.
* Daily routines must be created without losing the sense of productivity and discovery. Reading books, listening to lessons, musical activities, educational and entertaining activities, metaphorical games, sensory activities and activities should be continued and walking outside should be planned at appropriate time intervals.
Fairy tales, children’s yoga are among the methods that will increase children’s focus and calm. Empathy games allow them to express their feelings more easily; tent setting and Sensory Trails inside the House will be useful in balancing their bodily needs.
For individuals in adolescence, Editing, storytelling and creative home activities can be done using rational expressions.
* Science Children’s apps, Google Art and Culture (an online platform where high-resolution images and videos of works of art and cultural artifacts from partner cultural organizations around the world can be seen by everyone), exhibitions and events can lead to a healthy pandemic process.
