Schools has been reopened in India after 2 years, as covid-19 cases have decreased and life is getting back on track. Because there are no vaccines for children anywhere in the world right now, Covid-19 is still a threat.
As a parent, you may be concerned about your child being infected with covid-19 because schools are open across the country.
Before sending your child to school, read the following safety tips.
Teach them
It’s your job as a parent to make sure your children know everything there is to know. To prevent this, sit down with your child and tell them to avoid crowded areas in school, do not share anything with other students, wear masks at all times, and clean and nicely sanitise Seats before sitting.
Hand wash
Teach your child how to properly wash their hands for two minutes. For everyday use, put a small pouch of hand soap in their bag. When they return home, throw it away.
Remind them about sanitizer
Remind them to use sanitizer on a regular basis at home in order to get them used to the habit of using it when they go to school. To keep them from forgetting that they must clean their hands, this will make it very simple for them.
No food sharing
It is all about sharing your lunch with each other in school but in this pandemic time this can be really really dangerous for everyone. So make your child understand that they are not supposed to eat anything in the school apart from the lunch that you gave them for their safety.
Transport
You can also tell them to clean their seats before getting on the school bus or any other form of transportation they use. Also, keep a safe distance from everyone in the vehicle and wear mask at all times.
No handshake or hugging
Children will be meeting their friends after a very very long time and they will be excited and in this excitement they might handshake or hug each other which is in not good. So talk to your child about touching elbows or kicking each other with a leg shake instead of touching their hands and hugging each other.
Conclusion
Children will be very happy after going to school after so many months because things in between felt like they were never going to be turned back to normal ever again. But as it is said that things don’t remain the same for very long time and they are getting better for us as well.
