The coronavirus is unbalancing society. In Madrid, La Rioja and other communities in Spain, many schools have closed their doors as a measure to reinforce the coronavirus containment. Children can spread the coronavirus very easily but their prognosis in case of contagion grows to be more benign.
But regardless of the general panorama, there are millions of parents in our country who have found their children at home overnight during working hours. There are people who can choose to telecommute, others simply cannot.
Parents feel desperate because they do not know what to do to be able to combine children and work, especially those who do not have the help of their grandparents nearby. It is an atypical situation, new for everyone, and therefore, we all have to pitch in to make life easier as a community.
Some tips can be:
- Talk to neighbors and ask about their work shifts so that we can take turns taking care of the children.
- Talk to the company to seek some labor flexibility, at least for the duration of the reinforced containment measures caused by the coronavirus.
It is important not to alarm children and try to find tranquility in the day to day, with routines and daily duties ... it is not a vacation, it is an atypical situation that we have never had to live, but as in any society, we need some others to be able to do things well. Let the children ask, do not alarm or over-alarm, do not want to end all the supermarket supplies ...
This, like everything, will pass ... But it depends on the same people that everything goes better or that it becomes a chaos feared by all. It is our responsibility as a society, because we are all in this together. The coronavirus has become a great enemy of humanity, but it is necessary to remain calm and follow the instructions of the health authorities.
