But no need to worry, we have 20 ideas and plans that you can carry out to survive this lockdown with your little ones!
It’s time to invade the kitchen to make the best desserts together. In addition, this is also a measure that helps children to take an interest in the kitchen and collaborate. Best of all, try the result later and lick your fingers!
Some countries have had the great idea of sharing music with us taking advantage of social networks, with several artists offering small concerts from home, free for everyone. Enjoy them as a family!
These are great days to take the cinema home. Let each member of the family choose a movie, all the options are put in a bowl and every time you want to see one, you take a piece of paper out of the bowl and that's the one everyone will have to watch and review afterwards
Use the board games you have at home. If there are not many, you can always create your own game. There are many creative ideas online!
Have your children work together to create a story. Guide them into the adventure of literature.
Select a story, distribute characters, and become great theatre actors! Of course, you have to record this moment ;)
It's time to mime! Represent people (famous or known in your circle) but without making any noise! Let's see who the best imitator is!
Tell them a country and the little ones have to create a file with data about that region of the world. Who is its president? How many people live there? What is their typical food?
Set up the tent, get the cushions, pillows and blankets you have on hand, and go camping in your living room!
Select a song and create the best dancing moves. Everyone has to learn it!
Show your inner artist to everyone! You might impress someone, or you they may surprise you!
Others have to guess what is missing! There are things that are always there, but will we miss them if they are gone?
Making origami is always a great idea. Learn how to create them on YouTube!
Each one prepares a snack and prepare a picnic spot in your house. You will see how much fun this can be!
It’s time for karaoke! Do you want to do it even better? Stop the song at any given time, will they know how it continues?
There is nothing funnier than combining random pieces of clothes!
Or a car, an aeroplane... Everything is possible if you have a cardboard box big enough for the child to fit inside!
It’s a great idea in order to make them tired for nap time, or to have an early night!
Children love to collect things and treasure memories. Surely they have saved memories and objects of trips or things like that. With all this, a cardboard and glue you can make a beautiful mural to hang in their room.
Do you have any other idea? Let’s help each other out in times like these! Leave your idea in the comments below :)
]]>It is a new virus and there is not yet enough information about how it affects children or pregnant women. It is known that anyone can become infected, regardless of their age, but so far there have been relatively few cases of COVID-19 among children. The disease is rarely fatal, and so far the fatalities have been elderly people who already suffered from a disease.
Although it seems like children are not as affected as adults, be aware that that an infected child can spread it to other family members, so if your child presents symptoms they must take the same precautions as with an adult. Above all, they should not be in contact with other people or go to school.
What are the symptoms of Coronavirus?
Fever, cough and respiratory failure are some of its symptoms. In more severe cases, the infection can cause pneumonia or breathing difficulties. Rarely, the disease can be fatal.
These symptoms are similar to those of a common cold or flu, which are much more frequent than COVID-19. For that reason, to know if a person is infected, it is necessary to have a test.
What should I do if my child has symptoms of COVID-19?
You should seek medical assistance, but do not forget that it is flu season and that some symptoms of COVID-19, such as cough or fever, may be similar to those of the flu or the common cold, which are much more frequent.
It is important to maintain good hygiene and hand practices, such as washing your hands frequently, as well as keeping up with your immunization schedule so that your child is protected against other viruses and bacteria that can cause disease.
As with other respiratory infections such as the flu, you should seek medical help as soon as you or your child begin to have symptoms and avoid going to public places (such as your workplace, school or public transportation) so as not to spread to other people.
What should I do if a member of my family has symptoms?
If you or your child have a fever, cough or breathing difficulties, they should see a medical professional as soon as possible. You can call your doctor beforehand if you have traveled to an area where cases of the new coronavirus have been recorded or if you have been in close contact with a person who has traveled from one of those areas and has respiratory symptoms.
Can a pregnant woman transmit the virus to the fetus?
At the moment there is not enough evidence to determine if the virus can be transmitted from mothers to fetuses during pregnancy, nor from the consequences that this can have later on the baby. It is an issue that is being investigated. Pregnant women should continue to take adequate precautions to protect themselves from exposure to the virus and seek medical assistance if they begin to develop symptoms such as fever, cough or shortness of breath.
Is it safe for a mother infected with Coronavirus to breastfeed her baby?
Any mother who is in a risk zone affected by the virus and has symptoms such as fever, cough or shortness of breath should seek medical assistance as soon as possible and follow the instructions of a healthcare professional.
Please be aware that we are not experts and are just sharing the information we have found about Coronavirus in trusted websites.
