Intetho yokwenyani: Kwanangaphambi kokuba i-COVID-19 iphucule ubomi bethu, abantwana bethu bachitha uninzi lwehlobo bebaleka benganxibanga zihlangu. Kodwa ngoku sinciphisa uhambo lwethu lokuya kwibala lokudlala, ivenkile yokutya kunye nephuli, ke, ngokunyanisekileyo asazi nokuba ziphi na izihlangu zabo. (Mhlawumbi kwigumbi elingaphantsi? Okanye phantsi kwebhedi?)
Sisanda kufumanisa ukuba ukuhamba ngeembadada kwiindawo ezinzima ixesha elongeziweyo kubi kuthi kuba kuvumela ukuba unyawo luwele (oku kunokukhokelela kwimiba efana ne-bunions kunye ne-hammertoes). Kodwa ngaba imithetho efanayo iyasebenza nakubantu abancinane? Siye sachwetheza uGqr Miguel Cunha ukusuka Gotham Footcare kuba ingcali yakhe ithatha.
Ngaba kulungile ukuba abantwana bam babaleke benganxibanga zihlangu imini yonke?
Ngethamsanqa, ewe. Ndincoma ukuba abantwana bahambe behamba ngeembadada ekhaya ngokukodwa kwiindawo ezifakwe kwikhaphethi njengoko ukwenza njalo kunokunceda ukukhuthaza ukujikeleza nokuphuhliswa kwemisipha enempilo kunye namathambo eenyawo zomntwana, utsho uDkt Cunha. Ukuhamba ngeenyawo kunokunceda ukuphucula ubuntununtunu, ukulinganisela, amandla kunye nokulungelelaniswa ngokubanzi.
Ndiyifumene. Kwaye kuthekani ngokuvumela abantwana bam bahambe benganxibanga zihlangu phandle?
Kwakhona, iindaba apha zilungile (kunye nezikhokelo ezimbalwa). UGqr. Cunha uthi abantwana banokuhamba benganxibanga zihlangu ngobulumko. Ndincoma ukugqoka izicathulo kwiintsuku ezishushu kunye nelanga, apho i-asphalt okanye isanti ingabangela ukutshisa okukhulu ezinyaweni okanye kwiindawo ezingakhuselekanga apho iglasi ephukileyo ingaba khona. Ukuba uvumela abantwana ukuba babaleke bengenanto, ungalibali ukubeka i-sunscreen ezinyaweni zomntwana wakho ukunceda ukukhusela ilanga. (Psst: Nazi izinto ezisixhenxe zokukhusela ilanga zabantwana ). Kwaye ukuba uya kwindawo kawonke wonke enje ngedama, bobabini abantwana kunye nabantu abadala kufuneka bakuphephe ukuhamba benganxibanga zihlangu ukuphepha ukosulelwa yifungal, ibhaktiriya, okanye usulelo lwentsholongwane olufana neentsumpa. Kwaye okuthakazelisayo, isiluleko esifanayo sisebenza ngotshani obumanzi-ke qiniseka ukuba ukhuphe izicathulo kumntwana wakho ngaphambi kokumisa i-sprinkler emva kwendlu, Kulungile?
