#iorestoacasa, 'homework' for the little ones comes from the nursery - Lifestyle

The chats with the parents were already there, they were used every week, among other things, to get a photographic report of what mothers and dads could not have seen: the chores, the lunches all together, the songs in the group. Then suddenly the nest closes, everyone at home. And the companions? And the teachers? In kindergarten My little house in Rome, and who knows how many other nests in Italy, thought that the lockdown should not have interrupted everything and that a thread had to be managed even if at a distance to maintain it. It is true that they are puppies, from 3 to 36 months, but even the babies in the nursery have their friends, they are used to being hours and hours with companions and educators, to do workshops. It is also true that at home parents finally enjoy themselves, who have time for them, that time hoped for and never obtained due to work commitments (with attached guilt feelings like all parents, especially mothers), you can cook together draw, do some gardening maybe on the balcony hoping to return to the park soon. This is how the founders of the nest thought that 'homework', that is, a weekly guided program for parents could be a good idea. "It was a success - says ANSA Caterina Misito - because while we are used to work to have clear every day what to do with our little ones, parents paradoxically much less. We give them ideas day by day, always different every week, including recipes to make games within the children's rooms, we certainly don't tell them to make great paintings but pasta with salt, creations with colors and paper, perhaps with toilet paper rolls, inventions that give them wonder like the salt that magically colors and then also motor skills with paths to be done at home using the adhesive tape to delimit it. We continue to feel useful even with the nest closed, and straight lines not collected, unfortunately, and the parents are happy to be guided because they are not obviously everyone has skills and dexterity. In the next few days we will send the program for the Easter chores and so also this year an air of celebration can be found despite before everything ".
In addition to the weekly program, with explanatory photos and recipes, videos have also arrived during these days: the teachers spoke to the children and addressed them, and so also the visual thread did not fail.
But how are children at home? "At the beginning, some parents showed up, having never really been whole days with their son, he discovered aspects of the personality not too well known, such as aggression, but this regardless of the situation. Habits change a lot at home, for everyone, including children, often skips the nap for example. In the first phase there was absolute happiness for the children to have their parents all for them, now of course - Missi tells us - we begin to feel boredom and tiredness as among the rest The children then feel, even when they are very young, the mood of their parents: if they perceive them worried they too will be affected, that's why you have to keep them active and also at home, it doesn't matter to go out, open windows are enough to let in light and sun , it is more important to be positive, and it is essential to explain to them in the easiest way possible why you are at home and what situation we are living taking care to be hopeful about the future ".
