SAPIENT OFFERS VIRTUAL DAY CARE THROUGH AMAZING INITIATIVES

The biggest challenge for any parent during this lockdown is to manage their kids. Especially if your kids are toddlers, they’re an even bigger challenge. I have a 3 year old son and I’ve been struggling since the beginning of this lockdown to manage his screen time. When things were normal, he could go down to the park or play outside with the kids of his age who he met when he went outside, but since March, things have changed for all of us drastically. Children have no clue about the pandemic and they are only confused with whatever is happening around them. It saddens me to the core that the initial crucial years of the young ones is being spent inside the walls of a house and they’re missing out on the fun they could have had if things were under control. This has created another problem i.e. increased screen time for them. Every parent right is going through this dilemma of cutting down their child’s screen time.

It’s very difficult to be with the kids all the time with all the work from home going on. Many organizations have loaded their employees with so much work not considering that things are not the way they’re supposed to be. Employers seem to have forgotten the fact that for parents, it’s extremely difficult to manage work with kids being around. I would consider myself quite lucky in this case as my employer, Sapient has been quite considerate in delegating work amongst employees. They’ve made sure to take this fact under consideration that being at home is even difficult with trying to manage work and other responsibilities. Not only work delegation, but also organizing sessions on controlling your kids screen time and how to make the best use of lockdown for kids have been really insightful and helpful. It has really given a way forward to parents like me to make the time as productive as it can be for our kids and help them in staying away from being glued to the screen.

This is what makes my organization i.e. Sapient different from other organizations and encourages me to write not from a parent’s perspective but rather give an honest Sapient Employee feedback. I’m really impressed with the way the leadership and management has given a thought to this aspect and has come out with such a practical and effective solution. I’m sure the normalcy will resume soon but I’d like to thank sapient to take care of my worries till the time we’re all in the lockdown J
