COVID-19 AND CHİLD PSYCHOLOGY There are many precautions to be taken for the coronavirus (Covid19) outbreak, which leaves the whole world in panic and fear. In addition to the precautions that should be taken by the states in order not to spread the epidemic, to heal the sick and to protect those who are not, individuals have obligations such as paying attention to hygiene and following the rules set for their own health and that of others. For this reason, it is necessary to listen to the information of the approved official authorities such as the World Health Organization, the Ministry of Health, the Medical Association and the warnings about the precautions to be taken. The risk of corona and similar epidemics is not only associated with physical health. Due to the fear and panic it creates, it is also necessary to. TOPRAK ORHAN

Virtual teaching will never replace the love, the loughs, the learning, the smile on students' faces, the "aha" moments that happen in an actual classroom.
The quarantine isn't a break for teachers & students...it's a heartbreak.
Romania's team feelings
All the harm towards well: the ozone layer has recovered almost completely! (cf. FoxNews and research published in Nature Magazine) In other words, stop the greatest economic agents which pollute, and we are going to have a "Bio" Planet, the scientists say. Or, wait for another Covid to impose taking drastical measures! Romania
Reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases.
These symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure (based on the incubation period of MERS-CoV viruses).
Fever
Cough
Shortness of breath
Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.

What are the symptoms this coronavirus causes?
According to the WHO, the most common symptoms of Covid-19 are fever, tiredness and a dry cough. Some patients may also have a runny nose, sore throat, nasal congestion and aches and pains or diarrhoea. Some people report losing their sense of taste and/or smell. About 80% of people who get Covid-19 experience a mild case – about as serious as a regular cold – and recover without needing any special treatment.
About one in six people, the WHO says, become seriously ill. The elderly and people with underlying medical problems such as high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, or chronic respiratory conditions, are at a greater risk of serious illness from Covid-19. / Diana Tonoyan from Armenia
Stay home if you can
Even if you have no underlying health conditions, and no symptoms, be extra cautious to protect other people.You can do your part to help your community and the world. Do not get close to other people.
This is called “social distancing” or “physical distancing,” and is basically a call to stand far away from other people. Experts believe the coronavirus travels through droplets, so limiting your exposure to other people is a good way to protect yourself. / Diana Tonoyan from Armenia.

Sun to the rescue
The use of solar panels to enlighten our houses at night can save thousands of megawatts of electricity.
Thikra Shoubieta , Jordan
Stop chopping the forests
Deforestation is one of the major reasons why the quality of air has degraded to an all-time low.
The loss of trees and other vegetation can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Due to the decline in the number of trees, the environment of the Earth has been adversely affected.
Many flora and fauna are on the verge of extinction due to the loss of their natural habitat.
Thikra Shoubieta , Jordan
Switch to electric vehicles
The use of the EVs would not only lessen the pollution on the Earth, but it will also decrease the traffic due to their tiny size. Ensuring good health of our planet is for our own good. We’ve been exploiting the natural resources for long, but it is high time we realize the damage it has done to the planet and takes necessary steps to protect our only shelter. Thikra Shoubieta , Jordan
Power up on plants
Meat and dairy production is responsible for 14% of global climate-changing emissions. Too much meat is no good for your health either. Each year we could prevent thousands of early deaths in the UK, and save the NHS a fortune, by eating low-meat or no-meat diets. Learn more about food and the environment. There's plenty of easy ways to reduce your impact, for example order a veg box straight to your door or eating less (and better) meat and dairy from local farms. Amine Gökcen ERİŞEN,TURKEY
Reduce , Reuse , Recycle / Must be our priority
Here are 10 simple tricks you can try to cut down on the waste being generated at home. There is a thin line between reusing and recycling which can be explained that way: Reusing is when you try to use an item for something different without making any changes to it and without transforming it whereas recycling requires a process of treating the object and transforming it into new raw material which is later used for the production of new items. Eya Chaouachi , tunisia ( Pioneer School)
Encourage the use of renewable energies
Focusing your efforts to spread awareness about renewable energy is the best way to create a positive impact in your community. By informing others about how renewable energy is better than utilizing fossil fuels, you will sway others into investing in the idea. Myriam Essid , Tunisia ( Pioneer School )
Planting forests and tree to remove excess carbon dioxide from our atmosphere
Plant trees and grow your own food, even if you have just a small bit of land

Top up your fitness
Petrol and diesel cars spew out lots of climate-wrecking emissions. They also increase air pollution.
Most car trips in the UK are relatively short – under 5 miles. So it's fair to say many of us could be leaving the motor at home more than we are.
Top up your fitness and tackle climate change at the same time by cycling or walking. Too tired? Hop on the bus or train. Amine Gökcen ERİŞEN,TURKEY
Identify local support groups or available crisis counselors to talk to. After a natural disaster, crisis counselors may be brought in to offer support and help you come up with ways of coping with the impact of a natural disaster. Take advantage of these opportunities. G.ERİŞEN
Try to establish a schedule. For example, set regular times for meals, waking up in the morning, or talking with family and friends. A natural disaster can greatly disrupt your regular schedule increasing the extent to which your life feels chaotic and out of control. Coming up with a daily, structured schedule can help you establish a sense of predictability and control. G.ERİŞEN
Talk about the effect of the natural disaster. Share your feelings with others, or at the very least, find some way to express your emotions. A natural disaster can result in strong feelings of anger, anxiety, and sadness. These emotions need to be expressed. If you hold them in, they may get more intense.
Try to limit other sources of stress in your life. Although you may have little control over other sources of stress in your life, try to limit the extent to which you make major decisions or life changes. Your most important task following a natural disaster is getting your life and emotions back in order. Therefore, it is important to put yourself in a place where it is going to be easier to do this. G.ERİŞEN
Focus on self-care. A natural disaster can deplete you physically as well as emotionally. It is very important that you make time to care for yourself. Self-care is integral to emotional and physical health. Caring for your body, mind, and spirit can increase your ability to cope with trauma. Make sure you eat well, get enough sleep, and exercise. Mindfulness practice has also been shown to help survivors cope with Post traumatic stress disorder.
Practice healthy coping strategies. Following a natural disaster, you will experience a number of intense negative emotions. Therefore, it is very important to identify healthy ways of managing these emotions. Alcohol or substance use, excessive sleep, and seeking comfort in food can be effective short-term strategies for managing emotional distress, but in the long-term, these behaviors don't address the root issue and often increase distress.
Find ways to help others. Helping others can provide you with a sense of agency, purpose, control, and empowerment. G.ERİŞEN

Get your electricity from the wind and the sun
Wouldn't it be nice to weaken the big climate polluters that burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas?
You can. In just 5 minutes you can switch to a green-energy provider, without any disruption to your supply. Every person choosing a green tariff adds to the movement for more renewables.
You could even be in for a surprise saving. Clean tariffs are often cheaper than the standard fixed-rate tariffs most UK households are on. Amine Gökcen ERİŞEN,TURKEY
