so. Many of the local preemption statutes are relatively recent. Sixteen of

6 Out Of 10 Parents And Children Consider That Confinement Has Strengthened Their Bond
Close
to the eyes, even closer to the heart The last few months
have not been easy for all French people. They oscillated between
astonishment and adaptation. Confinement could have been difficult for
some households, especially because of the stress associated with the longer time spent at home for 41% of parents
and 43% of children. 79% of the children surveyed also
declared that they had suffered from
not being able to see their friends and classmates in real
life. Happiness lies in the little moments of sharing Who says confinement,
says routine! Parents had to be
imaginative to reinvent everyday life and make each moment moments of sharing
and happiness. It was necessary, for example, to take advantage of the
authorized daily outings. Walking was simple, easy to organize and very
liberating. 97% of parents consider that physical activities are
important for the development of their children. During confinement, the
most reluctant were also motivated with their children since 36% of parents
did more physical activities than usual or started to do it together. Parents have redoubled
their efforts to offer their children quality activities that bring people
together, and this has not been in vain because 88% of parents and 91%
of children feel that the time spent together during confinement has been
very positive. The opportunity for them to do more than usual or to
start doing certain activities together, in particular: 56% took the
opportunity to cook or play, 52% said they had watched a movie, 49% had a
meal together or 47 % discussed. Cooking is the
activity that tops the most popular moments of sharing than usual during
confinement (35% of parents and 39% of children), but other moments have also
been very successful:
Home
school: parents improvise (good) teachers Schools closed, this
means that it was necessary for parents to take an even more important place
in the education of their children. To have the lessons recited, to
learn the multiplication tables or to revise the capitals of the countries of
the world ..., the parents knew how to improvise school teachers. They spent even more
time with their children. 67% of them say they have done homework or
studied with their children more than usual or have started doing it on this
occasion. Not only did the parents take part in the children's homework,
but above all 53% of them felt more proud than usual to have been
involved in this way. On the children's side, 51% of them enjoyed doing
their homework and / or studying with their parents as much as
usual. The investment and the efforts made by the parents were therefore
greatly appreciated by their children. Homeschooling was
therefore a positive experience for 52% of parents and 51% of children. (Ipsos France) March 11, 2021 |
