Reopening of Schools after Covid-19


What will happen when the schools will reopen post pandemic ?


A big-big question to answer after the impact of Covid- 19. Some states have already opened the schools for higher grades. Although pandemic is still not yet over. Slowly and slowly, we are coming out of Covid- 19 trauma but few states are still keeping an isolation mode on for schools as a safety measure.


Given the difficulty of situation across the globe, school authorities and the government bodies should call up for a review meeting. It should be in the best interest of the children. Water, food and hygiene facilities form an important part of school reopening measures. Frequent hand-washing should be made compulsory in schools. Strict social distancing norms should be followed in schools. Schools can't operate in 100% capacity till there is no 100% effective vaccination for covid-19. So, benefits and risks should be properly assessed before reopening of schools.


Some children may feel anxious to return to school while some may feel difficult to follow the social distancing norms at school. They may not be ready to use protective gears like masks and sanitisers etc in schools. 


Being a parent, it is hard to send your child to school after re-opening. But we have to be calm and proactive in our conversation with our children. We should encourage them to understand the ground reality, thus keeping in mind all the available safety measures.


As a parent, there may be a lot of questions that may come to our mind about reopening of schools like:


 Are schools really taking effective measures to ensure the safety of their students ? 


• Can schools be operated in open environment so as to decrease the risk of virus?


• What if, a child is really sick, and if he or she may get bullied on account of Covid symptoms. There may be a possibility that he or she is negative but the other students can tease him/her for this. Will school take any measure against this?


• Whether my child will follow all the protocols at schools?


• Will school authorities teach respiratory etiquettes to the students basically from primary levels ?


• Why can’t schools operate in shifts to reduce class-size?




These are the basic questions for which every parent may be looking for answers. As a parent, it is our duty to give extra support academically to our child at home. It is again difficult to return to normalcy now. Remember, Covid trauma is more deadlier than its symptoms.

How to teach financial literacy to Kids?

How to teach financial literacy to Kids? No doubt, parenting is a tough job but one or the other day we do that in our life journey. No one teaches us about that. It is the personal experience of one’s life. Similarly, our kids have to make basic financial decisions in their life at some point of time. They have to make wise investment decisions ahead to be successful in life. With proper skills and knowledge about how to use money wisely at a young age, they can have good financial success in their lives. Investing is one of the abandoned component in the school curriculum of our children. This means learning fundamental basics of finances by kids in terms of --- saving up allowances, controlling impulsive buys, finding ways to make money through chores etc Teaching English language is important and teaching financial language is as important as teaching English. In simple terms, it means the usage of money further for getting income or profits. As a parent, it is our basic resp...

Importance of Nutrition in Kids

How to explain importance of Nutrition to kids In my previous blog, I have shared many things about positive parenting in modern era.Now a days, parents are bit sceptical how to introduce the concept of value of nutrition to their children as kids today are more interested in having junk food. Parents who make good  nutritional  choices for their kids throughout childhood assist in keeping childhood obesity at bay as well as other diseases that can develop in adulthood like hypertension, diabetes, and heart diseases.  Balanced and healthy  diet  strengthens your child's immune system, helps him or her maintain healthy weight, and aids in his or her brain and bone development.                                      What I feel is that value of Nutrition should be introduced to the kids at an early childhood stage so that they can learn sharing and socialising skills along...
