Are your kids tired of online schooling? Are they feeling worried and isolated due to the pandemic? Then this journal for kids will definitely boost their morales.
Children are being affected by physical distancing, social isolation, worldwide school closures, due to the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom. Some children and young people may be feeling more isolated, anxious, bored, and uncertain. They may feel fear and worry about the impact of the virus on their families. There could be internal stress building up, waiting to get released.
On one hand, there is the anxiety of the pandemic, on the other, there is the pressure of online schooling that has been on the rise.
It has increased screen time for kids, along with a sense of monotony and fatigue. According to Dr. Yi Pang, professor and associate dean for research at the Illinois College of Optometry, fatigue, dry eyes and an irregular sleep cycle are common effects of excessive screen time. Fatigue is probably the most prominent symptom. When we look at a screen, our eyes have to work harder in order to focus.
It becomes important to take breaks, clear the mind and unwind daily. Especially with holidays around the corner, we need a solution fast!

This type of activity can boost children’s creative and critical thinking.
