The children can be given taught road safety in the following ways—The children should be encouraged to find a safe place for crossing the road.Many children get them hurt at the kerbs as they often overlook it. So, while informing children aboutthe road safety, it is necessary to pay special attention to teach how to cross the kerbs.While crossing the road, the children should be instructed to look right, left and again right.The children should be asked to cross the road only when it is clear. The children should also be advised not to run on the road.While crossing the road also, the children should be encouraged to looking and listening for traffic.The instructions provided to the children should be clear and concise while teaching them aboutroad safety. The instructions like ‘ look for a safe place’, ‘ first look right then left, then again right’ are easy to understand for children. Along with the instructions, the children should learn different signs on the road for safety.

The viruses and bacteria can move through the air and can infect other individuals also. The risk of airborne diseases can be reduced by taking the following steps—When an individual is infected by the airborne disease, staying in isolation is effective to preventfurther spreading of the germs. In case a child at care centre is sick with airborne diseases, parents should be encouraged to keep him/her at home. It will reduce the risk of spreading airborne diseases. Using a face mask can reduce the risk of airborne disease. Covering the mouth at the time of coughing and sneezing with a tissue prevents transmission ofgerms.Washing hands after coughing and sneezing also can be effective to stop the prevention of germs.References:Brennan, M.
