The COVID-19 pandemic has raised several concerns among parents who see the lives of their children turned upside down, due to the confinement. Although each family experiences the situation in their own way, depending on the age of the children and the context, it can be good to keep track of it, by creating memories.
Miriam Beauchamp, director of the ABCs Laboratory, discusses it with Maude Goyer, journalist for Naître et Grandir magazine: “This period will leave traces, more or less positive, on memory and development. Creating memories will allow parents to come back to them and talk about them again […] Children will remember where they made them, and with whom. It will remind them of the context ”, she says, noting that this can then open up discussions and foster exchange.
