Whether your child is continuing virtual learning or wanting a desk for a few hours of homework, carving out a separate area will help them stay focused, engaged, and motivated while learning from home.
Whether your kids are participating in blended learning or remote a lunch break should form part of their daily routine. It offers children a break from class work and time to enjoy a nutritious meal, socialise with peers and engage in recreational and physical activities.
There are many different types of toys available on the market today, but all toys are not all created equal. Toys set the basis for how children experience life, and the right ones can be tools for understanding rather than just trying to keep them busy.
The Sharjah Child Friendly Office (SCFO) has launched ‘Parenting and Covid-19’ – an awareness campaign to support parents and families as they help their children deal with various new issues stemming from being restricted to home as a precaution against the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
Back-to-school season has well and truly arrived, bringing a few pressing questions along with it. The majority of these questions concern the health and safety of children set to return to the classroom for the first time since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.
Children ask a lot of questions under the best of circumstances. In these times of the novel Coronavirus pandemic when they have been restricted to their homes, the uncomfortable questions tend to increase and not surprisingly most of them are centered around COVID-19.
To ensure the safety of children at home, the Child Safety Department (CSD), an affiliate of the Supreme Council for Family Affairs (SCFA), has released a ‘Home Safety’ e-booklet in Arabic and English. The booklet has been shared digitally with parents and is available for download through the link on the Child Safety Department’s Instagram and Twitter accounts (@childsafetyuae).
