As for your life and your child's life


We assume you are doing your best to protect your child. While you are physically and mentally affected, still yet you are taking as good care as possible of your child. Aren't you neglecting to take care of yourself?

* Can you sleep well?

* Do you take enough fluid / water?

* Do you have a time to go to toilet?

* Aren't you exhausted from being considerate to others?

* Is sanitary situation decently set up?

There must be a lot of problems in the living environment at the shelter and/or evacuate site as for ventilation, temperature, humidity, lighting, sounds, smell, and so on.As it is said that washing one's hands and gargling is one of the most effective ways as prevention from catching cold in the winter, it is advisable for both you and your child to carry them out. Also it is a good way to prevent you and your child from catching cold and not to decease your physical strength and resistance.


* Do you have a chance to do something for change?

It is recommendable to look up at the sky and see clouds, sun, or stars, feel winds, or take a deep breath, if it is difficult to find the area for taking a walk.


* Aren't you also holding back from expressing your feelings?

 

Not only on your children but also on your own, it is better to talk with some one and/or consult a professional if it is necessary.
