COVID-19 pandemic has make us parents upside down. Glad that first episode of #PlanTheNextGen series comes amid a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. Parents are welcome to watch the FB Live session at https://www.facebook.com/TrinityKidsMalaysia/videos/674094480158192/ for more tips and information sharing.
Parents are worried about the family and kids
health during this pandemic. How to make sure our kids are in healthy
condition? How to avoid family and kids from COVID-19 infectious? There are
many questions pop up in parents mindset. Looking for solutions to overcome it.
Trinity Kids Malaysia hosted the first episode of a talk series centred on child development and wellbeing, titled ‘Navigating COVID-19 Second Wave: What Are We Really Doing to Protect Our Children?’. Moderated by television personality Daphne Iking, the speaker line-up for the first episode of this series consisted of Daisy Ng, Founder of Trinity Kids Malaysia; Dr Ng Yi-Ki, paediatrician at Baby & Beyond Clinic; and Wong Chui Ling, entrepreneur and television/radio host.
“We are living in unprecedented times, and as we go through our days just trying to make sense of everything that is happening around us, it is important for us to be mindful of our children’s safety and wellbeing as we embrace the new normal,” said Daisy Ng, Founder of Trinity Kids Malaysia.
“What I realised was that parents had so many varied questions about keeping their children safe, well, and happy during these trying times; but they don’t necessarily have the answers. That is why we started this conversation series - to bring parents together to share knowledge and experiences in areas like managing routines and adapting to our children’s needs,” added Daisy.
The speakers discussed ways in keeping children
safe during these trying times, including daily hygiene practices for children
of various age groups.
“The risk of transmission among children is at
least 50 percent lower than adults. Let us not be too obsessive to the point
where we scold our kids if they touch their eyes or if they do not wear their
masks. What we can do as parents is to teach them to be mindful and wash their
hands constantly,” said Dr Ng.
Dr Ng also emphasised the importance of children
carrying out physical activities outdoors as one of the ways to boost their
immunity.
Chui Ling shared her experience managing herself at
public engagements for the safety of her children, as well as managing her
children who constantly want to revert to their normal routines.
“I organised a birthday party for my child a few months back. It was a smaller scale celebration, and I was very particular about who I invited to the party. But if anyone asks whether they can organise a party during this time, I would advise against it,” said Chui Ling.
One of the questions that was posed to the panellists was whether it is a safe time for children to go to school, especially at a time when COVID-19 cases are seeing a spike.
“It boils down to trust towards the schools that
your children attend. Are they doing the right thing and taking the right
measures? The government has given clear guidelines for schools to create a
safe environment for children,” said Daisy.
“What is important is to keep in mind that children
should have an avenue to channel their energy in a healthy manner. That channel
can be in your home or at school, as long as it is safe,” added Daisy.
Daisy spoke about how parents who enrol their
children at Trinity Kids have been very helpful in the process of placing
safety measures in place – designing spray booth and installing temperature
scan machines that utilises Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automate facial
recognition, among others.
“We strive to manage the environment that we expose
our children to at Trinity Kids through community efforts with the parents. It
is only through collaboration that we can make this world a safer place for our
children,” said Daisy.
