Kids are full of energy. But if you don’t figure out how to channel that energy properly, your little darlings are likely to turn into troublemakers.
Looking into homeschooling tech
If you’ve been considering homeschooling since the start of the pandemic, you are probably looking at tools that can make teaching easier at home. As a parent in charge of homeschooling, you can reach out to teachers to discuss different tricks and tips that would keep kids motivated at home. Children have a wonderful brain that can learn quickly. But many young students struggle in class when lessons fail to be engaging. How about looking at solutions such as ABCmouse that are specifically designed with young learners in mind? It’s free to use for teachers (the perfect recommendation for school), and motivating for little ones and their families.
Create a space learning environment
We’ve all had to adjust to the pandemic situation. If you’ve been creating a cozy home office for yourself, you also need to consider how you can improve your child’s learning space. Homeschooling and homework need a peaceful area where your child can concentrate. It is tempting to create bright and colorful rooms for children. However, it could be overstimulating and therefore counterproductive. Instead why not use bright color sporadically throughout their learning space? A bright yellow, for instance, helps to increase focus. Pair it with baby blue or pastel shade to encourage peace of mind.
Have a family workout plan
What are kids going to do with all that energy? They need to release it. You can’t expect young children to sit quietly all day long. Scheduling fun activities that let them get rid of the energy excess will work wonders at home. You can even plan something together, such as a fun family workout or a ball game in the garden.
Introduce a bedtime routine
A lot of parents find it hard to get their kids to go to bed early. Young children want to stay up and be with you. They can still hear parents watch TV or chat as they go to bed. So, of course; they can feel as if they’re missing out. You can introduce a home bedtime routine during which the house is quiet for 20 to 30 minutes as young children get ready for bed. This will prevent late excitement and help little ones relax.
A word on sugar
We’re all envious of children’s metabolism. They can eat so much sugar without fearing for their waistline. However, sugary treats could affect their behaviors dramatically. Children also exêrience the excitement of the sugar rush, followed by the sudden slump of energy. It will make them more irritable and more likely to give in to tantrums and tears.
Kids that are hard to manage often struggle with excessive energy bursts that they don’t know how to control. As parents, we can help them channel their energy toward positive activities, such as creating an engaging learning place and finding ways of avoiding overstimulation.
