The year 2020 is being a very tough year for the entire world population. The arrival of the pandemic has caused a change in the lives of both adults and children. In the case of the little ones, confinement has become quite hard, especially due to the issue of not being able to go out to the street to play. Fortunately, after two months the children can go out on the street, although with a significant number of limitations.
The famous cabin syndrome can occur in some children. Although at first it may be somewhat complicated and difficult, after so many days the child may adapt to such a situation and not want to go out. There are many children who can make their home their true comfort zone and have real fear and fear of leaving it.
What is cabin syndrome?
The cabin syndrome usually occurs in a person who remains locked in a place for a long time. We must start from the basis that children are the part of society that has suffered the most from the strictest confinement. This data is really important since they can have many more problems when going out.
Symptoms that suggest cabin syndrome in children
The syndrome of the cabin is easy to detect since the child has made his home his true comfort zone and is not afraid to leave it and go to the street. Anyway, We show you a series of symptoms that a child who suffers from cabin syndrome may have:
- You should look at all times if the child shows great concern when going out into the street for what may be found. For days he has watched the news and knows that there is a virus in the street and that he could get it.
- The child may suffer from tachycardia, palpitations or anxiety at the thought of having to go outside. Apart from this, it may show some difficulty in concentrating or problems related to memory.
- If the child goes out forced and with very little desire, it is likely that he is suffering from this syndrome. There are clear symptoms such as having a hard time while taking a walk or being quite uncomfortable.
- In the event that the child is shy and finds it difficult to relate to others, the syndrome can be aggravated in a significant way. These types of children prefer to stay at home and maintain contact with their friends through social networks.
How to treat such a syndrome in children
- The first thing to be clear about is that cabin syndrome is not a pathology. It is something normal that usually happens in many children due to the time they have spent locked up in the house.
- Do not minimize your emotions at any time and try to put yourself in their shoes. It's good to sit down and talk and understand it at all times.
- Do not hesitate to have a chat with your child and explain that you can go outside without any fear as long as you comply with the preventive measures to avoid a possible spread of the virus.
- If you still don't see him ready, you can encourage him to go out to the window or balcony and see how there are other children on the street. You can start by doing short trips to make him feel more confident. Little by little he will gain confidence and the walks will get longer and longer. In no case should you give in to your fears otherwise the problem would get even worse and there would be no way for you to get out of your comfort zone.
