Lockdown - COVID 19
Like anywhere in the world, my place also under curfew. We cannot go out at particular time every day.
Country is doing great and taking every possible step to control the spread.
We are working from home. I have two Kids at Home. Daughter is at her 8th age and Son is at 4th age.
As guessed, it is difficult to manage kids and office work that too during lock down.
Initially, I expected that I will get good time to spend with Kids. Planned a lot with kids.
Few days passed with great time pass, learned lot about Kids interests, small small thing that I never noticed before.
I started cooking special items for them, brought lot of books and activities for them.
Played UNO cards.
Watched movies/TV.
Helped them to write stories / Learning new things.
Allowed them to play with their friends whenever they can.
Son had Fever, gone very high. He started shivering, i was almost down seeing him, that too me alone. This is not the first time, so I knew what to do, but still the moment made me sad.
Two full night could not sleep as his fever came late evening and he will have very high fever, had to give sponge bath.
After 3 days, he became normal.
Made my daughter to teach my son. They both enjoyed.
These are usual days of any family.
However, there is something in my mind all the time. So many 'what if'. What if I am tested positive, where Kids will go? Who will take care of them? What will be condition of Hospital. My son is always clinging on me. He always come and kiss, pinch me, do something or the other but always in touch. I have no idea what his mind is going through without mother for 9 months and only with Father and Sister.
So I thought of giving the best time. So I started trying something different.
Asked my daughter to earn and spend by doing some work at home. She earned almost $5. She was so proud of that money.
Taught them to play video games WII, they both enjoyed. Some small physical movements.
We used to do Yoga for 15 minutes, Son is very young to understand what it is but still he try to imitate us.
Started telling what is COVID19, how symptoms like, what are the treatments. Also told you both might need to stay separate if I am tested positive. I will never forget my Son's reaction, he is not ready to accept staying without me. Midnight he got up and asked if he can join me in the Hospital ;), me totally broken.
Taught some devotional songs to my daugther. Taught mother tongue to read and write.
Made my daugther to teach my son.
My wife, on the other side, tried her best to make sure daugther is fully engaged. Daily she used to give some assignments / activities. Mom is always lovable and caring.
We are trying to pass the time as much but with useful things.
We are so lucky to have neighbors and friends, they are always in contact with us. Any help, they are ready.
As like thousands of people, we also hope for the best to overcome this current situation.
