Child family psychologist Svetlana Roiz told how to improve her well-being and help children after disturbing nights with explosions and sirens.

She noted that after such nights there may be drowsiness, headache, tension in the gastrointestinal tract.. In such a situation, it is better to walk a lot, whenever possible, allow yourself to lie down, stretch your muscles.. We can't recover. The enemy is trying to drain us of insomnia. And it is the opportunity to sleep, relax during the day, at least a little, that will be saving.

Children may be agitated, irritable. After the last night attacks, many parents of children of all ages spoke about tantrums “from scratch”. Children even speak louder than other days. Increased sensitivity to touch, pain.

It is worth it these days to walk more and put restrictions on computer games and cartoons with active actions (where there is high dynamics, a lot of sounds) - in order to prevent even more overexcitation.

We need to be attentive to how the child sits, it is worth, perhaps, touching, massaging the feet, giving the opportunity to lean on us with his back.

It is better for children to offer games in which they can:.

restore the feeling of the boundaries of the body (any games are associated with touches or hugs);

restore the rhythm, regain \;

games where they can stretch (stretch their muscles);

games to respond to aggression - perhaps homemade skittles, popping pimples, tearing paper (and then assembling collages from pieces);

games to create a safe space - these are coloring pages, and the creation of houses, halabud;

If the child wants and can, you can offer modeling, designers.

Tetris apps, letter games are suitable for adults. The next day after night attacks it is harder to focus, so you need to give the opportunity to rest. Remember that getting distracted, not keeping concentration, reading and rewriting what you did several times, forgetting about plans and meetings - in such a situation it is normal.

We remind you that the psychologist named five ways to help not succumb to panic.
