The pandemic has had a dual impact
1. Low social interactions that has given rise to stress in children, leading further to drastic behavior changes

● How to make a successful adult proactively
● How to be mindful and tap every opportunity

Hello Sir! My two children aged 9 and 7 initially were quite disturbed due to closing down of physical school. But over a period of time they have started to enjoy the comfort of staying at home. They have not been taking online classes seriously and just don't want to follow the schedule. Infact they don't want to submit assignments , notedowk work in notebooks and just study last minute during exams. My concern is will they be ever able to springback to normalcy and follow the regular routine as it used to be prior to the lockdown? Kindly give suggestions to bring them back on track.

Namskar Ram G! Hope you are doing well! My question to you is -as a parent what should be my approach in dealing with my two children who are now 8 and 4 years old respectively. Should I be strict with them or let them be as their schedules have gone for a toss, they have resorted to junk food , being awake late at night, being glued to their gadgets for long hours, not sleeping or waking up on time. I am losing hope and I believe if status quo persits , children will forget how to be in discipline and follow a routine and will continue to get further spoiled in the absence of any physical schooling. Kindly guide me as I am having a tough time dealing with them both and suggest some handy tips to make parenting them easier for me as all this is adding on to my stress with having to deal with so many other responsibilities too such as job, household chores, their studies to name a few.

Hello sir! My son is 5 years old. Post lock down, I find him more addicted to mobile phones and T. V. I couldn't control him. He behaves too cranky and throw tantrums. Though I engage him in writing home work, play and draw, he sits only for some time. What should I do?
