Close to the eyes, even closer to the heart

Parent-child barometer Kinder Ipsos Ferrero

 Happiness lies in the little moments of sharing

Who says confinement, says routine!

Parents had to be imaginative to reinvent everyday life and make each moment moments of sharing and happiness. It was necessary, for example, to take advantage of the authorized daily outings. Walking was simple, easy to organize and very liberating. 97% of parents consider that physical activities are important for the development of their children. During confinement, the most reluctant were also motivated with their children since 36% of parents did more physical activities than usual or started to do it together.

Parents have redoubled their efforts to offer their children quality activities that bring people together, and this has not been in vain because 88% of parents and 91% of children feel that the time spent together during confinement has been very positive. The opportunity for them to do more than usual or to start doing certain activities together, in particular: 56% took the opportunity to cook or play, 52% said they had watched a movie, 49% had a meal together or 47 % discussed.

 

Parent-child barometer Kinder Ipsos Ferrero

Cooking is the activity that tops the most popular moments of sharing than usual during confinement (35% of parents and 39% of children), but other moments have also been very successful: 

  • Cooking was the most popular time for sharing for 35% of parents 39% of children
  • Laughing together  is one of the moments of sharing appreciated by 32% of parents 37% of children
  • Playing games is one of the moments of sharing appreciated by 31% of parents 40% of children
  • Giving kisses and hugs is one of the moments of sharing appreciated by 27% of parents 33% of children

Home school: parents improvise (good) teachers

Schools closed, this means that it was necessary for parents to take an even more important place in the education of their children. To have the lessons recited, to learn the multiplication tables or to revise the capitals of the countries of the world ..., the parents knew how to improvise school teachers.

They spent even more time with their children. 67% of them say they have done homework or studied with their children more than usual or have started doing it on this occasion. Not only did the parents take part in the children's homework, but above all 53% of them felt more proud than usual to have been involved in this way. On the children's side, 51% of them enjoyed doing their homework and / or studying with their parents as much as usual. The investment and the efforts made by the parents were therefore greatly appreciated by their children. Homeschooling was therefore a positive experience for 52% of parents and 51% of children.
