Essay on what new I learn during lockdown
Answers
Answer:
“I realized that no matter how much time we think we have; at the end of the day, what I came to appreciate was that we simply don’t spend enough quality time with our families,”
Days in lockdown were an opportunity for children to reinvent ways of play and learning, exploring their immediate environment and making the most of what they had available. Building resilience in children is one way we help them to cope in difficult moments.
After tiding up their room that served as a playground during the longest curfew lasting 61 hours, twins Ana and Kaya (7) turn the broom into a horse that they both ride on.
Curfews were also a time to help children learn responsibility and their role in contributing in our own way to find a solution to collective problems. “The silent understanding of my children was simply astonishing. We stay home, no questions asked, no demands to go and play with friends. Their lives have completely changed, yet they seem to grasp the importance of their contribution better than most adults,”
During curfews many learned about the importance of being creative with the scarce resources and limited physical space they had at home. Also, many came to appreciate that small acts of kindness and gratitude to other family members helps to boost emotional wellbeing.
