Ukuba kukho into enye efanelwe ngumntwana kweli hlobo, likhefu kwi-claustrophobia yokuvalelwa yedwa nabazali-kwaye kubazali abaninzi, iimvakalelo ziyahambelana. (Kule nto nje sifuna ukuba abantwana bethu babe nonxibelelwano olunentsingiselo noontanga kwakhona, ewe.) Ke, masiyeke ukuleqa: Ngaba inkampu yokulala ayinamsebenzi kulo nyaka ngenxa ye-COVID-19? (I-Spoiler: Akunjalo.) Sathetha nodokotela wabantwana ukuze ufumane i-scoop epheleleyo malunga nento omele uyazi xa kuziwa ekuthumeleni umntwana wakho kwinkampu kulo nyaka.
Ngaba ikhempu yokulala inokhetho kweli hlobo?
Ukuzihlukanisa kulo nyaka uphelileyo kuye kwachaphazela wonke umntu-ingakumbi abantwana, abangenalo iimvakalelo kuphela kodwa kunye nesidingo sophuhliso sokusebenzisana rhoqo koontanga. Iinkampu zasehlotyeni kudala zithandwa ngenxa yokukwazi kwazo ukubonelela ngobutyebi kunye nokuvuselela ecaleni kothethathethwano olunentsingiselo eluntwini-kwaye imfuneko yamava anjalo inzima kakhulu kunangaphambili. Asizukuya kuthi ga ngoku ukuba yiloo nto eyalelwe ngugqirha, kodwa sineendaba ezimnandi kulo mthambo: UGqirha Christina Johns , umcebisi wezonyango ophezulu we PM Pediatrics , ithi iinkampu zokulala zinokuthi, eneneni, zibe yindlela yokuzikhethela abazali ukuba bayiqwalasele kweli hlobo. Ngaba ulumkile? Yenza uphando lwakho kwaye uqinisekise ukuba iiprothokholi ezithile zokhuseleko zikhona phambi kokuba uthabathe kwaye usayine umntwana wakho.
Abazali bafanele bajonge ntoni xa bekhetha indawo yokuhlala?
Njengoko i-COVID-19 isenamandla kwaye akukho zitofu zikhoyo ngoku zabantwana abangaphantsi kweminyaka eli-16, ukhuseleko lubalulekile. Inyathelo lokuqala? Qinisekisa ukuba inkampu yokulala oyiqwalaselayo ithobela izithintelo ze-COVID-19 kunye nezikhokelo ezikhoyo kwilizwe lakho. Ungalibazisi ukubiza inkampu kwaye ubuze imibuzo ecacileyo-kungakhathaliseki ukuba uthetha nabani, ukuba nayiphi na indawo yoqhagamshelwano ayicacanga kumgaqo-nkqubo wezempilo ogunyazisiweyo ke iflegi ebomvu.
Nje ukuba uyazi ukuba inkampu ojonge kuyo ilandela izigunyaziso zelizwe kunye nezasekhaya (ezisisiseko), usenokuba uyazibuza ukuba zeziphi ezinye iibhokisi ekufuneka zijongwe. Yeha, uGqr Johns usixelela ukuba akukho lula njengaloo nto, njengoko kungekho mithetho inzima kwaye ikhawulezayo. Kukho, nangona kunjalo, ezinye iiprothokholi ezibalulekileyo acebisa ukuba abazali baziqwalasele xa bevavanya umngcipheko wokuthumela umntwana kuyo nayiphi na inkampu yokulala.
1. Uvavanyo
NgoGqr Johns, enye yezinto eziphandwayo yiprotocol yokuvavanya. Umbuzo ekufuneka abazali bawubuze ngowokuba, ngaba bonke abantu abathatha iinkampu kuza kufuneka bavavanywe kwiintsuku ezintathu okanye ezingaphezulu phambi kokuba baye enkampini, kwaye bangenise iziphumo zovavanyo ezingalunganga [phambi kokuya]?
2. Ikhontrakthi yentlalontle
Ngelishwa, ukuba nomntwana ovavanyiwe kwiintsuku ezintathu phambi kokuba kuqale inkampu akuthethi ukuba umntwana uchitha impelaveki ende yangaphambi kwenkampu ethekweni nabahlobo bakhe, abahlobo bakhe kunye nomzala wakhe basuswe kabini. UGqr. Johns uthi, ngenxa yoko, iinkampu ezibeka ukhuseleko kwindawo yokuqala zidla ngokucela abazali ukuba benze okufanayo—oko kukuthi, xa kusenziwa isivumelwano soluntu. I-takeway? Luphawu olulungileyo ukuba iintsapho ziyacelwa ukuba zizibophelele kwimithetho ethile yokuphambuka ekuhlaleni-zinqanda iindibano ezingeyomfuneko kunye nokudlulisa imihla yokudlala, umzekelo-ubuncinci beentsuku ezili-10 ngaphambi kosuku lokuqala lwenkampu, njengoko oku kunciphisa umngcipheko wokuvezwa.
3. Iipods
UGqr Johns uphawula ukuba ezona nkampu zikhuselekileyo zezo zizama ukudala indawo yokuqala, elawulwayo. Ngamanye amazwi, i-pod. Kwimeko yobuthongo, oku kusenokuthetha ukuba abahambi beenkampu babelwa amaqela amancinane, kwaye amaqela ahlukeneyo (okanye iikhabhinethi, njengokuba kunjalo) anqunyelwe ekusebenzisaneni kwawo omnye nomnye kangangeentsuku ezili-10 ukuya kwezili-14.
4. Utyhileko oluncinci lwangaphandle
Ngokwenyani, eyona nkampu yokulala ikhuselekile yile iba luhlobo lwayo lokuvalelwa yedwa: Nje ukuba uvavanyo lwenziwe, iipod zisendaweni kwaye ixesha lidlulile ngaphandle kwesiganeko, inkampu yokulala ikhuselekile njengayo nayiphi na ... kude kube ngaphandle. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, uGqr Johns ucebisa ukuba abazali bazilumkele iinkampu zabangalaliyo ezinohambo lokuya kwiindawo ezinomtsalane zoluntu kuhambo. Ngokufanayo, uGqr. Johns uthi iinkampu ezininzi zabantu abangalaliyo ngenxa yezazela zithabatha ‘iintsuku zabakhenkethi’—yaye nangona oko kusenokuba luhlengahlengiso olunzima kumntwana okhumbula ikhaya, ngokwenene lolona luhle.
