When these opportunities are missed for a long-standing period, children begin to have their educational competencies and social skills affected. While the COVID-19 pandemic presents a threat, many parents and child physicians are also concerned about how distanced learning will impact this generation of kids.
The brain goes through some of its biggest developmental periods during the adolescent years. Social skills mature, core beliefs solidify, and how we perceive ourselves and others intensify. Social interactions during these childhood years are critical to how adulthood relationships will play out. Adolescent years give children their base understanding of how to give support, provide loyalty, and deal with betrayal.
This major disruption to the educational and social life of our children has undoubtedly caused unfair stress and even depression upon them. As we continue to navigate this distanced lifestyle, experts suggest we need to do two things as caregivers: provide opportunities for interactive play and understand their need to be online.
So what are some ways you can help create an environment that allows your children to engage freely and openly with their peers? All the better, how can this be done while challenging their growing minds?
Here’s one solution: Virtual Escape Rooms!
