Playing in a Box

Playtime, restrictions, children, schools
May 25, 2020 2:01am CST
France as at today 25th May 2020 stands 7th on the List of the Most hit countries (Viruswise) with USA being 1st Brazil 2nd India is now at #10 . Back to the Title, I came across that image which shows one of the children's schools in France at play time and that is how the children are playing at school in France. I wonder how it would fill like to play with all these restrictions for the children

It looks like the children are playing by themselves only.

Whatever fun they are getting from not playing with their friends. I don't like this virus it has ruined many things including children's playtime

@Helikaputo we are all affected by the virus in one way or another. It is a worldwide phenomenon we are experiencing.

It's hip to be square these pandemic days. In New York, they drew circles in parks. Could be a lesson on shapes. If I were the parent, my child will not be there.

@Helikaputo Parents need to learn that CoViD-19 is also dangerous to the children's health.

That's a huge debata going on in many places some parents feel it's too risky for the children to go back to school now.others claim the children need to learn.

Though the small ones won't really understand may be after some time. especially that they have been away from school for some time then going back to discover that they can't play with their friends anymore

We need to see this that the children are not complaining about the physical distancing and actually look like they are having fun.

@Helikaputo That is right, and as adults we should not complain either.

I agree with you if the children complain about it then there is a danger that they could be negatively affected but if they are happy then that's better

It`s hard to let the kids play outside during these pandemic. It`s not safe

That is true especially that kids do not see things the way adults see them

To me, some of them look a little sad while others are enjoying themselves. My heart breaks for the sad ones. They are probably missing playing with their friends.

@Helikaputo At that age, children don't understand completely what's going on. All they know is they can't play with their friends.

True and that should be looked into I think so that children don't get psychologically disturb by the change

Our schools are closed, but I'm sure children of that age would find it fun to play in their little boxes. We all have to do our part to remain safe and keep others safe as well.

@Helikaputo I’m sure they understand. I wish many others understood here in my country, but they do what they want.

Yes though some looks bored. Am hoping they don't get psychologically impacted by these changes they are finding in school. I hope they are being explained to why they are playing separately this time around.

If kids are taught the reason why they need to wear mask, maintain social distancing or wash hands then they will follow it because they understand it will keep them safe

@Helikaputo yes you are right. Kids will follow what adults say unlike many grownup who disobey the authorities.
