How do we take care of our own and our family\u2019s mental health in times of pandemic? Here are a few tips:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don’t get obsessed by thinking, \u201cWhat are we going to do?! How long will it last?!\u201d Think about following sanitation rules in a logical and safe way.<\/li>\n
  2. Organize the tasks at home. Everyone should participate in household chores so that everyone stays busy. It will promote household unity, which will make your family healthy and harmonious.<\/li>\n
  3. Have fun times with games, funny contests, riddle challenges, charades, dramatizations, etc. Encourage everyone to participate in a time of shared laughter and joy.<\/li>\n
  4. Maintain physical activity within the home.<\/li>\n
  5. Both children and parents must maintain their connections with family, friends, colleagues, the church, etc. It is time to be present. Social distancing is NOT emotional distancing. Connect by sending a message or a greeting.<\/li>\n
  6. It is also time to dig deeper into relationships. Take time to be with your spouse and children. Tell them about your childhood.<\/li>\n
  7. Do family Bible studies, after either breakfast or dinner. Take advantage of everyone being together!<\/li>\n
  8. Have prayer times with your children.<\/li>\n
  9. Maintain a good attitude. Give your loved ones confidence. Tell them this will pass and you will move forward as a family, stronger, more confident and full of faith. Tell them that God will keep them.<\/li>\n
  10. Have a scripture verse for this time. Mine is:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So do not fear,\u00a0for I am with you;
    \ndo not be dismayed, for I am your God.
    \nI will strengthen\u00a0you and help\u00a0you;
    \nI will uphold you\u00a0with my righteous right hand<\/p>\n

    Isaiah 41:10<\/p>\n

    These will help to care for your and your family\u2019s spiritual and mental health.<\/p>\n
