4 Tips to Protect Your Child's Health in Lockdown

It’s a tough time for parents at the moment. With your children spending a lot more time indoors, your parenting responsibilities are through the roof. You have to help them with online education and keep them entertained, all while dealing with your own personal and professional duties.


4 Tips to Protect Your Child's Health in Lockdown

 

But you also have the added duty of making sure they are as healthy as possible. In normal times, your kids would be running around the playground and playing games with their friends almost constantly. But with lockdowns and government restrictions sweeping the country, they are now stuck at home all the time. This means they’re getting less exercise than they’re used to and are spending more time on their phones or playing video games. The lockdown may also be taking a toll on their mental health as they’re unable to see their friends and roam freely outdoors. 

As a parent, it’s your responsibility to look after your child’s mental and physical health. And there are several things you can do to keep them fit and active throughout lockdown. Here are four tips to get you started. 

How To Keep The Morale And Mental Health Of Your Children Thriving

As a parent, you’ll know that the life, health, and happiness of your child or children is the most important thing. You may have worried about yourself and the way your life panned out before, but as soon as your child was born, the priorities switch immediately. Your life and the things you wanted were put on the backburner – they’re still there, but just not as essential as they once were.


How To Keep The Morale And Mental Health Of Your Children Thriving


In terms of the health of your child, you’re going to want to focus a lot on their mental side. It goes without saying that their physical health should be thought about, but many parents (especially those in the past) often unintentionally ignore what they’re thinking and how they’re feeling. Fortunately, mental health is being taken a little more seriously in this day and age, so you’ll get a lot more help and more methods of learning in this regard. 

Whether you have an autistic child in your life or one with no signs of a mental impediment, their thoughts and feelings are influencers heavily in their impressionable years – so it’s up to you to make sure they’re in the best possible place. Sometimes, their brain might work in a way that needs a little medication – you can give them the best possible advantage, though. Here are some things you can do: 

Struggling with Addiction: Learning to Love an Alcoholic

 2020 we kept telling ourselves we were only going to focus on the positive. But stuff happened to a lot of people and not recognizing the trauma isn't good for the soul. I have said I always wanted to share my entire life even the bad parts with you, but I didn’t this past year because I didn’t want to bring anyone else worry or maybe I didn't think it was my place to tell. I went back and forth about sharing this because of how personal it is, but I decided to share it because if can help one person then it is worth it.

I'm sorry to distract from my normal positive posts, but I have always wanted to be real and help others. That's why I started this blog and I hope to continue doing that.



My mom has drank as long as I can remember. When I was growing up she would have a few glasses of Franzia white Zinfandel from those huge boxes that she kept in the fridge. I knew she liked to drink, but I didn’t know it was a problem. I remember her doing things when she was drunk (I didn’t know that’s what it was at the time) that were embarrassing. And even now something will happen and I'll randomly remember something that I must have blocked out.


When my daughter was a baby we stayed over at her house for a night because we wanted to wake up early and ride somewhere together. She lives over an hour and a half away from me one way. I remember her having “a night cap”  which she said was "part of her routine" and the next day when we were talking about it, she clearly didn’t realize she had drank not just one, but four shots of rum.
