How to care for your children at home?
Parents can usually help their children in coping up with stress and anxiety that mostly gets triggered during lockdown. Motherhood is different for each and every mom out there. This road has a lot of challenges that includes handling the mental pressure, thoughts and all the habits of your child. If your 3-4 years old kid tends to get irritated on small things, then what should you do?
Mom influencer Riddhi says, that these children get irritated only when there is nothing to do for them or when things are not working according to their wish. In such situations, the parent should try and know the reason behind it. If something is bothering them or if it is something that they want. And, try to give them small day to day tasks such as keeping utensils on their own and going to the market with you. You can also make your child engage in simple indoor activities like dancing and painting. This will keep them busy and diverted. They also get irritated when they are not getting any attention.
