answer to each of the questions
The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in subsequent restrictive measures taken by many governments across the globe. Lockdowns, closure of schools and public places, and other ongoing restrictions have brought about dramatic changes to parent-child relationships. A large number of parents suddenly found themselves thrown into round-the-clock childcare, with many juggling working from home with carrying out childcare commitments. There is added stress for parents and caregivers who have lost their livelihoods or loved ones due to the pandemic. Many distressed parents have started to look for coping strategies that help build up their resilience. Seeking expert advice is one of the first strategies that comes to mind. Counseling sessions can help parents regain control of their lives by giving them space to discuss their traumatizing experiences in a non-judgmental environment. It is also advisable to practice a self-care routine. The self-perpetuating myth that parents must sacrifice everything for their children and that their needs and wants should take a back seat has led many parents to ignore their well-being and devote all their time to their children. Self-care is not a selfish act if someone is not physically and mentally healthy. Simple activities like walking to a nearby grocery store or having a cup of tea can go a long way in rejuvenating worn-out parents. Above all, parents should feel safe in the knowledge that they are not alone, and to struggle is normal during these difficult times. Governments and corporations are not free of responsibility either. Initiatives must be implemented to address the problems that confront parents. More family-friendly policies, such as paid parental leave or access to affordable and high-quality childcare centers, should be promoted and extended to include all in need. |
