Nowadays, Schools are fully reopening in most parts of the country. It’s time for parents to prepare themselves and their kids with simple back-to-school safety tips during this pandemic.
Young kids by now surely know how to wear a mask and how to use a sanitizer but there is so much more we need to train them for before entering a classroom setup.
Sharing some basic tips that I am keeping in mind, While I am still in two minds whether parents send their child to school this academic year or not. But if they do so, then they won’t be sending their child without fully preparing them this way.
1) Communicate to kids and apply everyday precautions
Most kids are aware of covid-19 effects. Just talk to them clearly about the situation and encourage them to do their duties to stop the spread. Every child should know and understand how to keep themselves and others protected.
2) Teach proper mask handling
Now, most of the kids are in the routine of wearing a mask, but they still don’t know how to handle it properly. Parents should teach kids to handle the mask with care. For wearing the mask, they should handle the ear loops or tie strings and wash their hands immediately after wearing it.
3) Hand Washing and Sanitizing
Encourage the concept of washing hands with soap regularly. The perfect choice is to put a sanitizer in the child’s bag in a way that it’s easily accessible. Kids should know the usage of sanitizer correctly to prevent the spread of germs.
6) Maintaining social distancing
Most of the children take classes from home, so they may not be aware of how to practice social distancing. The best step is to teach them about social distancing.
Great tips. yes during hard time of pandemic, keep our kids educated and taking proper precautions is only way to keep them safe. I agree we should teach kids properly “how to handle masks”. many times, kids did not know the things that they need to keep in mind while wearing mask.
Those are really good tips. I see people have become careless and taken off their masks. Some shops don’t keep sanitizers also. Children really need to be well protected from this as they are now going to meet everyone in school.
With the buzz of schools to be re opening soon for our kids, as a mother I am having mixed feelings. So glad that you shared the key pointers.
I will share the key pointers you mentioned in this post with my friends with young kids. I am sure it will help them to take teh ebst care for kids going to school
School are now open and life is back to normal. But still we have to take care of all the precautions. These tips are very important and helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Yes back to school care is very important. Sanitizers, masks and distance are an absolute must. Also good idea to discuss the measures the school is taking and make sure that it is implemented.
Thanks.
This is very helpful post. Now schools are opening slowly for small kids too . Proper guidance is necessary.
You are absolutely right! As parents, we need to train our kids before they enter a classroom setup. A lot of time I see kids misbehaving or pulling up some tricks which makes other kids or teachers unhappy. With proper guidance, kids can learn to behave properly.
Now that the schools are reopening slowly, it’s important that the parents and the teachers educate kids on safety precautions they need to take.
Offline schooling has surprisingly become more stressful as expected. We have to not only take precautions aroung COVID but other ailments too. Your tips are very helpful
Thanks.
Oh yes it is the time that we should be prepared for the most. Since kids have not been vaccinated yet, it is important that we take ample care of their safety when school begins.
Very important tips and yes it is so crucial to educate kids, especially at these times. And I think the biggest challenge is social distancing.
