How to Safely Return to Organized Sports for Kids

The pandemic has taken a toll on everyone in different ways. While we think about our mental health and how it has impacted us, we can’t neglect the feelings our kids have had as well. As the country begins opening up, one of the first things you should do is help your kids slowly get back into the swing of normalcy. For many kids, this means participating in organized sports. We’ve discussed a few considerations for helping your kids safely return to organized sports and the role personalized name labels play in it.

Educate Your Kids On Proper Hygiene

You may have already hammered home with your kids that they need to wash their hands frequently, don’t touch their face, and other hygiene practices. But when they get out on the field with their friends, they likely won’t think of those things since it’s a new environment. Give them subtle reminders that they should refrain from touching their face if they can avoid it. And you can help them out too by putting kids labels on their towels, bags, and other items so other kids won’t use them.

Trust Your Instincts

Everyone has different levels of comfort when it comes to returning to normalcy. One of the best things you can do is trust your instincts and find a balance you’re comfortable with. If packing hand sanitizer for your kids and putting personalized name labels on the bottles help with your peace of mind, then do it. Instructions and safety protocols might conflict with your beliefs, so it’s important to trust your instincts and act accordingly.

Allow Your Kids To Have Fun

Depending on the ages of your kids, they might not know what has been going on the past year. While it’s still important to focus on hygiene and personal safety, it’s also important to let kids be kids and have fun. Do what you need to do as a parent to keep your peace of mind, whether it’s using kids labels to minimize the chances of other kids touching your child’s things or anything else. But then let your child have fun with their friends without having to think about other things.
