The Covid-19 virus, which we are fighting against as a country and even globally, has aspects that even we do not know well, that it is difficult to name, and that increases our anxiety day by day as it spreads very quickly. First of all, rather than the spread of this virus, we see that anxiety, worry and panic spread much faster than the virus. With this intense anxiety, we see that our immune system is decreasing physiologically and psychologically, that is, our body is decreasing. For this reason, as adults and parents, the first thing we need to do is calm down! And we are aware that it is a very difficult process to stay at home for days or even weeks due to the measures taken for schools. At this stage, we have to convey something to our children so that they understand what is happening during our stay at home and with the increasing questions. Since it is difficult for children to understand abstract concepts, explaining them in the simplest terms by drawing them with toys and pictures will be more helpful in understanding them. We cannot see this microbe with our eyes because it is a very small and tiny microbe. In order to stay away from this germ, it can be explained that we should stay at home until this germ is gone, so that it does not come close to us. In order to remove this microbe, we need to wash our hands frequently and stay 3-4 steps away from people. When we sneeze, we should cover our mouth with our hands and wash it again without touching anything with our hands, because this germ does not like water at all. This can be explained with pictures, hand puppets or toys. We can state that it is extra important for the child not to have any questions about this in his/her mind, to give importance to hygiene and to be able to make sense of the situation. Keeping children away from the news and conversations, as well as simply following the agenda and not being constantly exposed to the news, allows us to protect ourselves psychologically. Even though your own emotions are in a complicated process, sharing your feelings and emotions clearly with your children provides relief for the child and you. The strongest precaution taken during this period is to stay at home and contact the outside as little as possible and practice hygiene. what to pay attention to.
The most valuable thing is to spend time at home with your family, to be able to talk and produce. For the health of all of us, for the health of society, please stay at home! Hoping that good days come as soon as possible…
