Encourage outdoor meals

If the weather allows it, encourage your child to enjoy meal time and snack time outdoors. Mayo Clinic reports that being outdoors reduces the chances of spreading or contracting COVID-19. So if the school gives your child the choice to eat indoors or outdoors, talk to your kid about taking their meal outside when the weather allows for it. Your child may also have the choice to do playtime indoors or outdoors. Again, outdoors is a safer choice when the climate is comfortable. Make sure your kid has a jacket, hat, or any appropriate outdoor attire for the local weather to encourage outdoor activities.
