solidarity on networks

Video by Juliette Le Peillet

Staying at home when you have young children is a situation that many parents experience on a daily basis, whether caring for their toddlers daily or during parental leave.
When it’s no longer possible to walk them around in a park and get them out into the air long enough, a nervous breakdown can happen quickly.
Faced with this threat, and in order not to feel isolated, social networks make it possible to find mutual assistance and kind advice between parents.
As the Nous Tous collective rightly points out, “Children are particularly vulnerable in times of crisis. And we said to see the social networks that we all struggle a little (especially when we assume, as is often the case with women, the majority of household tasks). #NousToutes sets up a support system for parents to help them hold on and never be violent with their children. “
What’s App groups have been set up to find ideas, support and comfort.
By joining a group, you receive an easy-to-do activity idea (without screens) every day, and advice on how to unwind.
Example of a shared idea?
For 3 – 7 year olds: in a search engine, type “easy drawing + the name of their animal, character, favorite object”. Draw from the model (explaining that you are more modern) and then, coloring! Possible duration: 20 to 30 minutes
Are the kids in need of boyfriends and girlfriends? Arrange a conference call for them. You can book a free conference call here (https://www.ovh.com/conferences/). At the appointed time, everyone calls the number and does the code followed by #. And they can talk to many. Only risk: some children tend to yell into the phone with excitement, pay attention to the noise level!
Other accounts, like that of @ taspenséà also offer parents the opportunity to exchange ideas to encourage each other and to make their stay at home as smooth as possible.
Don't stay isolated during this time, social networks are showing their tremendous power of mutual aid and bonding today!
