Our children had a much more difficult time in 2020 than adults. At the age of playing, socializing, enjoying life, they had to be imprisoned in homes, taking a very heavy responsibility. They cannot go to their schools, have very limited opportunities to meet with their friends, and they lack the opportunity to engage in social life, which is a very important education for developing their character and getting to know the world. Well, until this process is over, how can we create a more comfortable living space for our children at home.
This year we have to put our children in much more focus when decorating our homes. The children, who were deprived of social life due to the pandemic , had to live an important period of their lives by video conferencing via Zoom , when they would “intertwine with friends” . While even adults have begun to hate video conferencing “for work”, it is now the most important duty of parents to increase the comfort in the lives of children who live their vital education, friendships, and social lives through video applications.
First of all, renovating the bed in the nursery will have a significant impact on children’s lives. A more comfortable, healthier mattress will support children to have a good sleep, and sleep is a very vital issue for children at that age. With this in mind, you should offer your child the healthiest, most comfortable mattress possible. You should definitely check out the single bed models or the bunk bed models if two siblings are staying in the same room .
You will also need a quality light source, considering that children will spend a long time in their rooms. Therefore, a useful and stylish lampshade will also increase the light quality in the room and protect the eye health of the child. Especially the subject of light is very important because children’s eye disorders increase even more when they read intensive books / texts for class. It is important to remember that most eye problems are related to studying in dim light. For this reason, we must provide a bright and comfortable environment for children who will have to be locked in their room for long hours due to the pandemic .
It is also important to prevent children from sitting at the desk all day. Sitting on a chair uninterrupted for more than 1 hour can cause serious health problems by causing compression and congestion in children’s leg veins. In order to avoid this problem in schools, breaks are given every 50 minutes and it is recommended that children get up and walk around and open their leg veins. It might be a sensible option to buy an alarm clock that will remind the working child to get up from the desk every 50 minutes . Yes, setting alarms on smartphones is also a solution, but it’s not practical. Many children will be too lazy to set an alarm on their phone while sitting at the classroom. However, a simple hand gesture standing at the table, a mechanical or digital alarm clock that can be set up in a few seconds will support the child to manage his time properly.
During the break hours, it would be a rational solution to place a basketball hoop on the wall of his room to make him move, even bounce a little and open his leg veins. Of course, throwing a heavy basketball inside the room will result in breaking everything in the room. Therefore, we advise you not to forget to buy a few soft plush balls that the child can throw into the basket.
