The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has been an overwhelming situation for us all. With restrictions and sudden changes to certain personal, professional and social affairs, it has been a difficult ride. Now while we adults have adapted to the situation and are taking every possible precaution to keep ourselves safe, how safe are our children? Moreover, with the third wave-making around across the nation, it is understandable to know if you as parents/guardians are feeling anxious and so are the children.
Unlike adults, children find it difficult to understand the progress a state or country is making. This leads to possible anxieties and hearing negative situations from other people can make them vulnerable to feelings of stress and depression. Apart from this, they should also be aware or at least introduced to a healthy and precautioned living situation to keep safe during the third wave. So, let us check a few quick tips that you as parents can take over to help keep your children safe during the current wave of the Covid-19 pandemic:
Communicate with your children
This is of utmost importance and should be a practice to follow by all parents and children. Have an open and supportive discussion with your family that involves children to help them understand the ongoing situation. Keep the positive points at maximum and the negative points to a minimum, while giving hope to cope and keep going.
Explain the importance of healthy eating
“You are what you eat” is a common phrase we hear when it comes to the significance of eating healthy food. The pandemic has helped millions of people understand the importance of eating healthy and it’s time you make your children learn the same. Show them examples of people who have recovered or kept themselves safe by also incorporating healthy eating to motivate them.
Incorporate physical exercises
Stepping outside when not necessary is definitely still the foremost rule to follow since the outbreak of the pandemic. However, children require exposure to exterior spaces to enhance and maintain their physical and mental health. Allow them time to step outside and play but teach them how to keep safe by wearing masks. Those residing in Protech Homes need not worry much as each residential project comes with special amenities that can be used to incorporate exercises such as swimming pools, walking tracks, yoga centres and more.
There are many points to take into consideration to keep children safe during the Covid-19 third wave. They are discussed, learned and incorporated by everyone such as washing hands, using sanitisers and avoiding crowds. However, the points mentioned above are not very highly discussed and incorporated when it comes to children especially.
