An intense year where everything is done from home with an endless feeling of 24/7.

In about two weeks we are going to celebrate the passage of the Israelites working for freedmen.

This year we can feel a great deal of sympathy, with the government's decisions to open up the economy and the significant easing that constitutes (almost) a complete return to our previous lives to the days of Corona, after a year.

This year we may have been in our homes, but we completely felt enslaved.

The great preoccupation with being parents, employees, breadwinners, cooks, teachers and more, when everything is done from home with an endless feeling of 24/7.

And in the tension of uncertainty until when?

And how will it end?

More on Walla!

Good intention, the result - less: the common mistake parents make

To the full article

Now, for the first time, the reliefs seem to set us free, for the life we ​​had before the Corona era.

Schools, universities, restaurants, malls and culture are all coming back into our lives, and it is important to coordinate expectations.

Our lives will probably never be the same again.

We virtually put people in our living room, kitchen and balcony every day.

The experiences we have had over the past year have taught us a new chapter, we have gone through changes and things that can also be different, now that we are back.

It is important that we remember what we loved while we were at home and try to preserve it.

Solidarity

- Man is a social creature, from the moment we are born we make an effort to belong and get closer to the society in which we are born, to feel loved and needed.

It starts already with the baby's first smile to his parents.

In the past year we have been required against all our desires for social distance.

And here pretty quickly, in the name of social solidarity, a mutual guarantee was created - we learned how to bridge the gaps and distance and find other ways of closeness: we exchanged the hug and handshake with the elbow, smiles passed from the lips to the eyes.

Our sharing and level of openness has also changed: so many people, who never thought we would be hosted and brought into our home normally, have become present (virtually) daily with us in the kitchen, on the balcony and in the living room.

It is important that we remember our power of influence over each other, how much solidarity we need humanity for development.

Personal responsibility

- Following the quick fix, we realized how much personal responsibility is needed.

The Israeli "it will be okay" culture has proven to be destructive, sociopathic and not social.

Whether infected or contagious, the feeling is of irresponsibility and alienation.

This is not to say that we have become pessimistic.

Just remember that in order to remain optimistic we must act and do, take personal responsibility.

Many parents approached the children, and rediscovered parenting.

Parenting with Presence

- The intense and long stay at home made most families get closer.

Many parents testify that spending time with their children brought them closer and even made them get to know them anew.

If before the corona the children were in educational settings for example most of their waking hours and the parents in the workplace, the corona left us all many hours and in different and new situations together at home.

The parents knew their children as students, and the children watched the working parents (in the role, in the language, acquaintances with co-workers).

It is true that we had a complex and difficult one (to say the least), but many children returned to the educational frameworks when they actually reduced pedagogical and emotional gaps.

Many parents approached the children, and rediscovered parenting.

Family meals and conversations from battles, activities and games that helped "burn home time" should be left out and not hidden.

Work From Home

- In the beginning there was a lot of tension around working hours, the equipment required, what and how much could be done from home.

Over time we have learned the efficiencies and outputs that come from working from home.

Many employees now want to move to the employment model that allows for working days away from home on a regular basis.

For parents this is a great alternative, which also helps in the implementation of the previous section, and allows them to be more present in the lives of the children.

Distance learning

- it's no secret that the education system is happy that the Corona has forcibly jumped her class.

Changes that might have occurred perhaps only in many years, went into action immediately: developing innovative and digital teaching methods, responding to frequent changes, creating experiential and social learning.

The role of the "educator" has changed, a lot of flexibility and personal responsibility has been given to the educators to manage their classroom and the principals, the educational institution.

Which, of course, made the video an overnight sensation.

The belief that every educator knows how to give the best to his class from his acquaintance with his students, is a necessary and beneficial concept for everyone: educational staff, students and parents.

The parents also learned to re-evaluate the educators.

After years of complex relationships that have long called for mediation between the parties, it seems that today we are at a good starting point for such a process.

This year we learned to celebrate and celebrate things in a different way - more family and modest.

Uncertainty

- Our need for control over our lives has taken a sharp turn.

Whenever it seemed to us that the future was bright and clear, we were pretty quickly deceived.

The corona actually taught us to be flexible, to think about the future without knowing what exactly it is.

And it has caused many of us to change many habits at home: consumption and economy habits, eating habits, division of tasks and cooperation.

We created arrangements and routines within the home that helped us overcome the uncertainty together.

It will be important to continue to share the children, let them take part in homework and maintain stability at home.

What helped many families in the third quarantine was the family agenda they were able to staff and perfect from quarantine to quarantine.

In addition, even if the corona behind us the economic pit it left us is still unresolved.

Therefore, you should be sober and not complacent.

The uncertainty will probably stay with us for many years to come.

Proportion

- When we enter a state of survival it is very difficult to create development.

This year we learned to celebrate and celebrate things in a different, more family-friendly, modest and even economical way.

Hope for all of us that we will continue to maintain family proportion, and it will be part of the development we will take with us from the long and shared period at home - learn to set boundaries with respect, learn to say no and choose our places right in front of the kids.

Parenting in the corona era, is a phenomenon that happens once in a hundred and grows a changing parent generation.
