One of the most powerful ways of course by giving an example directly. Tell children that all adults do the same. Usually, children like to imitate adults because they feel they have grown up.
If they occasionally leave the house, children can see firsthand how their parents keep their distance, even if it's with neighbors, friends, or relatives. Every time they return home, children can also be taught to immediately clean, change clothes, put clothes in the laundry basket, wash their hands properly, and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
So that the child does not get bored while at home, it is also okay to occasionally make video calls with his friends to just say hello and he will see that his friends are just at home during this pandemic.
Parents can also invite their children to exercise at home while watching video tutorials, cooking healthy dishes, and trying various fun activities at home. Children also need to be informed about the importance of maintaining health and maintaining the immune system so as not to get infected with the virus.
