The coronavirus outbreak is affecting people across India in different ways. For parents of school-going kids across the country, the experience has been overwhelming and exhausting.
Around mid-March, when several Indian states sprung into action to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, their first step was to shut schools. Initially, the shutdown was meant to be till March 31, but it has now been extended till April 15, when the 21-day national lockdown concludes.
This means that kids, who typically spend between three and seven hours in a structured learning environment away from home, are now stuck indoors for weeks.
“Schools are shut. All out-of-home activities and social interactions have stopped, too. In such times, keeping kids engaged with creative activities that they find interesting is tough,” said Aarti Laxmanan, a corporate communications professional at a Noida-based packaging company. Laxmanan has been working from home while taking care of her daughters aged six and four years.
Quartz spoke with nearly a dozen Indian parents who are in the same boat as Laxmanan to understand how they are managing work-from-home with their kids always around them, sometimes demanding attention subtly and at other times pounding at their laptops to pull them away from work.
