Uma kunento eyodwa yonke ingane eyifanele kuleli hlobo, ikhefu ku-claustrophobia yokuvalelwa yodwa nabazali—futhi kubazali abaningi, umuzwa uyavumelana. (Ngalokho sifuna nje ukuthi izingane zethu ziphinde zibe nokusebenzisana kontanga okunenjongo futhi.) Ngakho-ke, ake sibheke elijikayo: Ingabe ikamu labangalali kulo nyaka alikho ngenxa ye-COVID-19? (Spoiler: Akunjalo.) Sikhulume nodokotela wezingane ukuze uthole ukwaziswa okwengeziwe ngalokho okudingeka ukwazi uma kuziwa ekuthumeleni ingane yakho ekamu kulo nyaka.
Ingabe ikhempu yokulala iyindlela kuleli hlobo?
Ukuhlukaniswa konyaka odlule kuthinte wonke umuntu—ikakhulukazi izingane, ezingenakho nje kuphela imizwa kodwa futhi nesidingo sokuthuthuka sokusebenzelana kontanga okuvamile. Amakamu asehlobo sekuyisikhathi eside ethandwa ngenxa yekhono lawo lokuhlinzeka ngokucebisa nokugqugquzela eduze kokuxhumana okunenjongo okunenjongo—futhi isidingo sokuhlangenwe nakho okunjalo sikhulu kakhulu kunangaphambili. Ngeke size sithi yilokho okwayala udokotela, kodwa sinezindaba ezinhle ngalezo zindlela: UDkt Christina Johns , umeluleki wezempilo omkhulu we PM Pediatrics , ithi amakamu angalali, empeleni, angaba inketho abazali abangayicabangela kuleli hlobo. Imixwayiso? Yenza ucwaningo lwakho futhi uqiniseke ukuthi izimiso ezithile zokuphepha zikhona ngaphambi kokuthi ungene futhi ubhalise ingane yakho.
Yini abazali okufanele bayibheke lapho bekhetha ikamu?
Njengoba i-COVID-19 isaqinile futhi ayikho imithi yokugoma etholakalayo njengamanje yesethi yabangaphansi kweminyaka engu-16, ukuphepha kubaluleke kakhulu. Isinyathelo sokuqala? Qiniseka ukuthi inkambu yokulala oyicabangelayo ithobela imikhawulo ye-COVID-19 nemihlahlandlela ekhona esifundazweni sakho. Ungangabazi ukubiza ikamu futhi ubuze imibuzo ethile—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhuluma nobani, uma noma iyiphi indawo yokuxhumana ingacacile kunqubomgomo yezempilo yomphakathi egunyaziwe kusho ukuthi ifulegi elibomvu.
Uma usuwazi ukuthi inkambu oyibhekile ilandela imiyalo yezwe neyendawo (okuyisisekelo), ungase uzibuze ukuthi yimaphi amanye amabhokisi okufanele ahlolwe. Maye, uDkt. Johns usitshela ukuthi akulula njengalokho, njengoba kungekho mithetho eqinile futhi esheshayo. Nokho, kunemithetho ethile ebalulekile atusa abazali ukuba bayicabangele lapho behlola ubungozi obuhlobene bokuthumela ingane kunoma iyiphi inkambu yokulala.
1. Ukuhlola
NgokukaDkt. Johns, enye yezinto okufanele iphenywe iphrothokholi yokuhlola. Umbuzo okufanele abazali bawubuze ukuthi, ingabe bonke abakhempa kuyodingeka bahlole izinsuku ezintathu noma ngaphezulu ngaphambi kokuba baye ekamu, futhi balethe imiphumela yokuhlolwa ethi awunayo [ngaphambi kokuya]?
2. Inkontileka yomphakathi
Ngeshwa, ukuba nengane ihlolwe izinsuku ezintathu ngaphambi kokuthi kuqale ikamu akusho konke lokho uma ingane eshiwo ichitha impelasonto ende yangaphambi kwekamu inamaphathi nabangane bayo, abangani bayo kanye nomzala wayo bekhishiwe kabili. Ngakho, amakamu abeka ukuphepha kuqala ngokuvamile acela abazali ukuba benze okufanayo—okungukuthi ngesivumelwano somphakathi, kusho uDkt. Johns. I-takeway? Kuwuphawu oluhle uma imindeni icelwa ukuthi izibophezele emithethweni ethile yokuncishiswa komphakathi - igwema imibuthano engadingekile nokudlulisa izinsuku zokudlala, ngokwesibonelo - okungenani izinsuku eziyi-10 ngaphambi kosuku lokuqala lwekamu, njengoba lokhu kunciphisa ubungozi bokuchayeka.
3. Amaphodi
UDkt. Johns uphawula ukuthi amakamu aphephe kakhulu yilawo azama ukwakha indawo yokuqala, elawulwayo. Ngamanye amazwi, i-pod. Esimeni sokulala, lokhu kungase kusho ukuthi abaya emakamu babelwa amaqembu amancane, futhi amaqembu ahlukene (noma amakhabethe, njengokungathi) alinganiselwe ekusebenzelaneni kwawo nomunye nomunye okungenani izinsuku eziyi-10 kuya kweziyi-14 zokuqala.
4. Ukuchayeka ngaphandle okulinganiselwe
Eqinisweni, ikamu lokulala eliphephe kunawo wonke yilelo eliba uhlobo lwayo lokuvalelwa yedwa: Uma ukuhlolwa sekuqediwe, ama-pods asuke esekhona futhi isikhathi sesidlulile ngaphandle kwesigameko, indawo yokulala iphephile njengazo zonke...kuze kube ngaphandle. ukuchayeka kuyangena. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, uDkt. Johns utusa ukuthi abazali baqaphele amakamu angalali anohambo lokuvakashela izindawo ezikhanga umphakathi ohambweni. Ngokufanayo, uDkt. Johns uthi amakamu amaningi angalali ngenxa kanembeza asondela ‘izinsuku zezivakashi’—futhi nakuba lokho kungase kube ukulungisa okunzima enganeni ekhumbula ekhaya, kungokungcono kakhulu.
