In times of COVID-19 everything is different.
Nothing is the same anymore and there are rules.
So also in my field, as #pedagogischer within preschool and after-school care.

Yesterday was a day with a good example.

Some children had to get tested because of a #covid19 infected person in their immediate vicinity.
The children who had to be tested are between 4 and 9 years old.
I think it is very important to be able to speak openly on such topics.

For example, I have the #kids asked about their own experiences and opinions.
Thus, the children spoke not about a stick, but a stick in the nose and throat.
Especially in the nose they have experienced as annoying. In the process of telling, there were several #emotions out at the children. Emotions like; anger and sadness.

I am also a mother myself and this is very important to me.. I myself have my doubts about the tests and the whole COVID-19 'state'.

Anyway, I asked the children: “Dear children, how can I make you happy again today?”.
The answer was, we want to do something that makes us happy and dirty.
Of course, getting dirty is always fun and I found this a challenge to merge, haha.

After a pleasant discussion, the following came out.

Thus, we have our own fantasy flowers made of paint, with our hands and feet! What a party was that?!
The dirtier, the better. And so the sad faces slowly disappeared and I got super happy faces in return!

Dear all, take care of each other and love! This is how we make the #world a little bit more beautiful. ♡
