The next few days, we had to spend at home quarantined<\/h2>\n

Having a sick kid is a demanding job. There are the tough first days, when the disease strikes. And when the worst of the illness is over, you\u2018re still stuck at home. My child becomes bored and I have to come up with low key activities, that let her rest and help to pass the time, have hardly any prep and use stuff I already have at home.<\/p>\n

Rather something familiar she already likes. And of course, activities shouldn\u2018t be too exhausting. I always keep an eye on her condition and her temperature. degree\u00b0 is a great aid here: With this little thermometer that stays in her ear, I can monitor her temperature continuously and notice immediately, when the fever is about to rise again.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thus, we are on the safe side!<\/p>\n
