When the coronavirus pandemic suddenly closed schools earlier this year, many families scrambled to distance education. It prioritizes emergency remote learning over "emergency" over "learning".

During this academic year, many districts are allowing schools to continue virtual learning at home as an alternative to going to school in person. For children who are going to do remote learning, the best way we can support parents is to give them a special place at home to focus on their studies amidst all the distractions.

Virtual learning space design:

Here is my recommendations to ideal requirements in the home for virtual learning :

1. Calm place to focus that can be closed with a door if possible
   1. The first step in designing a virtual learning space for children is to determine a location. Avoid overcrowded areas to help reduce distractions. With home activities it can be difficult to focus on an area where people are constantly moving 

1. A proper arrangement to store school supplies
   1. We all know

Using the potty is a new skill for your child to learn. It is better to take it slow and move your child faster. Even if you are frustrated at times, being patient with them can help them to be right.

Babies are able to control their bladder and bowels when they are physically ready and when they want to be dry and clean. Every child is different, so it is best not to compare your child with others.

As a parent, make sure you are mentally and physically ready to use rewards such as stickers & tattoos to tell your child, find out his / her schedule, and keep him or her interested, identify training products that you feel are the least stupid you want. Use it for this mission. 

How do you know when the time is right to start training? 

Keep in mind that most babies can control the bowels before their bladder. It usually takes a while for kids to learn to stay dry all night. Although most people between the ages of 3 and 5 learn this, 1 in 5 children under the age of 5 will sometimes wet

Toddler learning activities are a lot of fun, engage with a toddler hand-holding approach. As a parent, you can add some practice to your toddler's day. Learning through games is the best way to promote their motor skills and exercise both their body and mind.

This is a great way to develop communication skills in children, especially when they are learning to speak and express themselves. So, here are some amazing activities that your kids will fully enjoy.

Why you should engage your child in learning activities?

Increases problem-solving skills and allows children to think strategically. Introduces children to new concepts and subjects from textures, colours, numbers, etc. Some activities require multiple attempts to get it right. In addition to processing emotions, it allows children to try harder until they are successful.

Helps children cope with their fears and try new things without fear of failure. With developmental activities, children learn to think more simply.

Building blocks

Giving birth to a new life is just an amazing feeling and a tiresome job. At this stage, you will definitely  need help. Specifically, after going home with your little one, you won't be able to understand what to  do and how to do. 

These are few tips which will help you: 

Help after delivery: 

You can take help during this time, as it is hectic and tiresome. During your hospital stay, you can get it  from experts (doctors, nurse, and lactation specialists). At home, relatives and friends often want to  help too. Even if you are not ready for a few things, do consider their help.  

Newborn Baby Care: 

Before handling a newborn baby, one should be clean (wash hands), otherwise, they can catch-up  infections, due to their low immunity. 

When carrying a baby in your hands, ensure you are supporting his/her neck and back. Also, it is too  early to shake the baby and throw in the air. 

Getting close physically can buildup emotional bonding with the baby. Ensure there is skin-to-skin

Have you ever wondered how your 2 1/2 - 3 year old child just exactly imitates you talking  on the phone using, for say a spoon or a wooden block? This is a reminder of the powerful influence that we have on our kids – for good, for bad, or the funny.  

Imitation is a key part of the way humans learn. Starting at birth, kids are wired to learn  from imitation. And between birth to age 5, a child learns at a speed unmatched to the rest  of his or her life. It is during these years – when more than 85 percent of a child’s brain is  formed – the crucial brain connections are created. These connections help develop  imperative academic, social and cognitive skills and form a basis for future learning.  

What You Do Matters! 

Babies, toddlers and preschoolers learn best by imitation and gentle repetition. As they  grow, their ability to imitate develops too. They can pick up new skills by observing others:  how to tie shoelaces, hold a pencil in school, or return a smile. This kind

Use simple sounds like "da" and "ta" or "aa" or "ooh" to babies even when they are too young. Have a  great response from kids with these sounds. These simple speech therapy activities help your child listen  to you and as they grow old, they will try to imitate you. 

Speak in a low and soft tone: 

Have a face to face conversation with your child in a low and friendly tone. Eye to eye contact, when  talking to them helps them understand your speech. 

Gadgets don't help  

Giving electronic gadgets to your little ones when you are busy or you are not at home doesn't help  them. Direct contact with children is always the best way to deal with them. 

Spend time with kids 

Playing is the best way to communicate with them. Let them
