Parenting in Times of The Pandemic
Parenting in Times of The Pandemic
If you are stuck midway in your divorce case due to the COVID-19 pandemic, like in an informal arrangement or seeking reformed custody for your kids, your divorce lawyer in Mesa could assist you in co-parenting through this period. This would be the perfect time for parents to leave their differences and co-work to keep their kids safe and healthy.
Stay Updated and Teach Hygiene To Your Kids
You should regularly follow the news and guidelines issued by the government and community, and adhere to those which are applicable for you. This applies equally to both the parents. Both of you should practice discussing updates with regard to work notices, school closure or re-opening orders, testing slots, and vaccination availability. Teach your kids to maintain hygiene at all times through regular hand wash, use of masks, and social distancing. Help them learn the importance of these practices through fun reads in children’s books.
Stick to Your Parenting Plan and Grandparent Visitation
The pandemic should not deter any of you from providing parenting time to your kids. Both parents should continue with their existing parenting orders unless the same is modified or need change through mutual agreements. Thoughtful rearrangements need to be made between parents if there seems a possibility of coronavirus exposure. Both parents should ensure the place for each parenting meet is least crowded, avoiding any risk of virus transmission. Orders for grandparent visitations may be obliged through virtual meetings or calls for safety. Older grandparents may need modified temporary visitation orders owing to their ill-health.
Talk To Your Kids
During these tough times, you need to continue positive communication with your kids and attend to their concerns with care. Always be there to support them emotionally. Be reassuring in your conversations that there are better things beyond the sickness issues during the pandemic, and that all responsible adults are doing whatever necessary to protect them. Concerning adult discussions should always avoid the eyes and ears of your kids. This might make them more anxious.
Avoid Parental Conflicts
Always keep in mind that parental separation makes kids go through a lot of emotional trauma. This is why you were taught in your Parent Information Course to avoid conflicts in their presence. Frustration build-ups are natural during these pandemic situations. This could lead to parental conflicts or extended litigations. But a bit of care from both parents in this regard could positively impact your kids’ mental and physical being.
Stay Open to Counselling
You should be open to going through counseling sessions as parents during this time. Being responsible adults as parents, your coping skills and patience may get tested during the pandemic. Consultation with a mental health professional should help in such situations. Such professionals can also mediate conflict issues between both the parents, and help find solutions. In short, you should do whatever necessary on your part to keep your kids healthy and positive over this tough period. For more suggestions, please visit https://familylawattorneymesaaz.net/
