Advice for Learners during Quarantine

Quarantine isolation can have the opposite effect on students, if they cannot think rationally, regulate their emotions. In order to support young people, psychologists at the Abai KazNPU offer some advice.

Since young people like to communicate with their friends, isolation makes them aggressively perceive closed life at home with their parents. There is a conflict with objections to restrictions. This conflict can occur in the form of non-recognition of social demands and resentment, internal anxiety. People with neurotic disorders are the first to suffer, they are more susceptible to fear and panic.

«How fearful is the virus, when will quarantine be over? What is going on? ». - These and other similar questions make a person stressful. In addition, reading and watching media from morning to evening, especially not very pleasant news, has a negative impact. These problems cause anxiety and further expansion of the unstable psyche of people.

Psychologists advise to use quarantine for the benefit of their development. This is a time when you can bring a new interesting idea into your life, which is not enough in everyday life. Finally, a space for self-development and creativity. There are many free sites for this: learn how to sew and cook, you can learn English and learn guitar, listen to a webinar on your specialty. In addition, quarantine is a time to read books and watch movies. Through the Internet, we can visit the great museums of the world, listen to famous singers, and watch various performances.

We encourage you to oppose the Coronavirus and accept only official information. It should be remembered that the sense of social responsibility for the implementation of the regime of self-isolation, wearing masks in enclosed spaces and other recommendations of medics is a concern for your health and loved ones. Also pay attention to psychological advice:

1. Physical exercise at home;
