The letter of the French Ministry of Education to all parents during the quarantine days
Dear parents
You may want to create a minute-by-minute schedule for your children. They have high hopes for hours of learning, including online activities, science experiments, and book reviews. You limit the technology to finish everything! But here is something.
Our children are afraid as much as we are now. Not only can our children hear everything that is going on around them, but they also feel our constant tension and fear.
You have never experienced anything like this. Although the idea of not going to school for a few weeks sounds great, they probably think there is a recreational time like summer vacation.
No! The reality is that they are trapped at home and do not see their friends.
Your children’s behavior problems will increase over the next few weeks. Whether it’s fear, anger, or protest that they can’t do things normally.
In the coming weeks you will see more convulsions, tension and oppositional behavior from them. This is normal and expected under these circumstances.
What children need now is to feel comfortable and loved. Make them feel that everything will be fine. And that can mean disrupting your schedule and loving your kids a little more. Make dough together, bake sweets, pizza, bread and color the pictures. Play together again. and watch movies. Do a science experiment together or find virtual trips to the zoo. Start the book and read it together as a family. Not to sleep under warm blankets and do nothing.
Don’t worry about falling behind in school lessons. All children have the same conditions and everything will be fine. When we are back in class, we will revise all of this course and put them in the same place. Teachers are experts in this matter! Don’t fight with your kids because they don’t want to do math. Don’t yell at your children that why you don’t follow your plan?
In the end, let’s say one thing and the most important issue. The mental health of our children will be more important than their academic skills. And what they felt during this time will remain in their minds long after the memory of what they have done in these four weeks has disappeared. Think about making yourself and them happy every day.
stay safe
