10 precautions you should take before sending them out to school or play

Kids are loud, excited, and very enthusiastic humans; they love going out, playing, and doing all different types of activities. They are a packet full of energy. Now it is essential as a parent to ensure maximum safety of the child. To do so, you should prepare your child for all possible outcomes and keep him aware of the things happening around him.

Let us look at ten precautions you should take before sending them out to school or play.

1. Make them aware of the virus.

Kids observe things happening around them and are very much aware that something is wrong. Therefore, it is essential to give them actual news and facts before hearing myths through their friends.

Be honest and tell them the truth, allow them to ask questions, and have the patience to hear and answer all of them calmly.

2. Follow Protocols

Teach your child the basic protocols – wearing a mask, maintaining social distance, and washing hands. Tell them its importance and ensure they follow it. Ensure they are also aware of the consequences of not doing so.

3. Food

It is also essential to take care of their diet and make sure they eat well before school or play with proper discipline. Food consists of energy that is needed for their growth and development. So along with learning and playing, a healthy meal becomes vital.

4. Hygiene

Teach your kids to maintain hygiene, make sure they keep their surroundings clean. Alert them of the side effects of touching anything and everything around. Ensure they wash their hands after coming from school or out. Make sure they carry a sanitizer with them always and use it whenever necessary.

5. Health.

If your kids are not doing well, even if they are slightly ill, it is advised not to send them out. Even a little exposure to substances can make them sick and increase their chances of getting infected by the virus.

6. Avoid public transport

For some time, drop your kids on your own or by someone who is fully vaccinated; make sure your kids are in entirely safe and secure hands. Do not let them wander around in infected areas or places with no safety protocols.

7. Listen to your kid’s concern

Ask them all their worries and doubts, make sure you listen to them carefully and guide them in all aspects. Give time to your kids, make sure they are fully aware of everything. Ask them if they want to go out to play or school and why. Are they worried about anything? Comfort your child and make them ready.

8. Ensure safety protocols are followed in places your child often goes.

Whether it’s the school or playground, make sure all necessary protocols are considered. For example, the playground you send your kids to should follow the protocols. Do not send your kids to play in places with an increased number of cases. Even in schools, make sure all teachers and students are following the protocols.

9. Keep an eye on your children.

Please keep a close eye on your children’s health. Even the tiniest of Covid-19-related symptoms can become life-threatening.

Ignoring such signs of illness will have an influence not only on your child and family but also on the other pupils in their class.

This will not only cause inconvenience for many other children and their families, but it may also result in the physical education sessions being closed once more.

As a result, keeping a close eye on your child’s health is critical during this time.

10. Open mind

Keep an about mind towards your kid; they may or may not like different rules you or your school imposes for safety. They may often even tell you, and you might shout at them and tell them to follow it quietly, they might follow in front of you, but behind your back, you never know. So be calm while explaining to them the importance and need of following protocols.
