So what should you do if you feel ill?
- Only call 111 if your condition deteriorates. If you can use the internet to access 111 then do. This frees up the phones for the elderly and those who aren’t online.
- Don’t visit your doctor – phone them instead
- Wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds
- If you can, stay in a room (by yourself if possible) with good ventilation and a window that opens
- Stay at least two metres away from relatives if you can
- Use a seperate bathroom (if possible)
- Sleep alone (if possible)
- You can use your own garden, but don’t go for a walk

We’re trying to add lots of helpful information to the At Home with Kids section of the website. These general tips from April are still relevant.
Here are some general tips:
- Keep a positive attitude as much as you can and try and keep some kind of routine (easier said than done!). Remember, this too shall pass and there’s always Skype, Facetime, Whatsapp and other virtual ways of keeping in touch with others.
- Exercise regularly (adults and kids), either in your garden or with a DVD at home. Yoga is a favourite in our house and Cosmic Kids’ YouTube channel is great for 20 minutes or so. There are lots of ideas for kids’ exercise circuits online, incorporating ideas such as bear crawls, star jumps, etc.
- Self-isolation might even provide the perfect opportunity to potty train, since you will be at home for a prolonged period of time.
- Now might be the perfect time to teach a new skill to your little ones. Tying their laces? Learning how to knit?
- If you have a garden, print off a scavenger hunt – there are lots of free ones online.
- Look after your neighbours. If you’ve got elderly neighbours close by, they may be concerned about going out. Call in on them (or drop a note through their letter box) offering to pop to the shops for them or simply to let them know that you’re there.Back to At Home with the Kids5 Norwich Places you can visit online
