JAKARTA - It has been almost two years since Indonesian children have studied online, without face-to-face and socializing directly with teachers and friends at school.

Feelings of boredom and fatigue will definitely appear, but for the sake of health and common interests, PJJ (distance learning) is still considered effective in preventing children from the dangers of COVID-19.

As parents, there are several ways and efforts that can be done to avoid feeling bored in the midst of children's online learning, as quoted by Antara from Zalora's official press release, Thursday, August 12.

1. Be more present to accompany children to learn online

Accompanying children to study online certainly requires special time dedication for parents in the midst of daily busyness.

However, parents as active companions can invite children to discuss, repeat teacher instructions if needed during the learning process to create a fun learning atmosphere with children.

2. Equip and change the child's study room regularly

Children's study space is certainly an important factor in maintaining a conducive online learning process. If you have more space, it never hurts to dedicate the room to be a children's study room, moreover, make sure the room is far from distractions such as television, mattresses, and others.

Completing and changing the layout of the room can be done with the child to foster a sense of enthusiasm and belonging, and of course it can be adjusted to the child's preferences, such as in the selection of table colors and so on.

3. Provide children's learning equipment according to their preferences

The necessary learning equipment includes pencil cases, stationery, notebooks, drinking holders, study lamps, and ergonomic chairs.

This need can also be adjusted to the child's preferences and invite the child to choose which favorite character they want. For example, in choosing a pencil case with a child's favorite cartoon character.

4. Don't forget to play

Play is a right and need for all children. Parents can complete games that are appropriate for the child's age to hone their child's creativity.

Disturbed children's play activities turn out to be a serious problem for children's growth and development, especially the process of children in building social character or character.

Learning and playing activities are equally important and are good activities for children's growth and development, both cognitively, physically, and emotionally.
