The world is becoming more scary right? But you will notice that our children are less affected. Why? No one has really been able to say exactly why! However, in theory, people who have more human contacts will be at higher risk of contracting any infection of droplet based transmission(cdc.gov) just like COVID.


This doesn’t mean you need to relax and not be protective of the kids.

Here are few things to note as parents:

-Limit visitors in your home including your extended family

-Do not allow your kids go to any parties for now

-If your kids must go out, they should wear masks, not face shields only. Children 2yrs and less must not wear mask (cdc.gov)

-Encourage lots of hand hygiene in your home

-Engage children in daily outdoor activities to make staying at home less stressful for them

-Keep your pediatrician’s number within reach and find out if they allow virtual visits (Via whatsapp, zoom or medical apps)

-If you need to go to the hospital to get your kids checked out, don’t be scared, most clinics do better job of taking hygiene precautions than other public places. Talk to your medical team ahead of your appointment


Above all, don’t stress your kids by locking them indoors, COVID pandemic doesn’t have a ‘finish’ date, let them play outdoors- supervised.

Stay safe everyone!
