. Exercises like skipping , stretching, situps etc. Should be done by kids. Even we ,parents, should accompany them in the exercises firstly to keep ourselves fit too and secondly setting them a personal example and as a source of motivation for them to carry on with the daily exercises.
They should be fed a balanced diet. Proper food , even during these lockdown, should be provided to the children so that they remain healthy. If possible juice, curd, all sources of protein and especially green vegetables should be provided to the children through appealing yet healthy foods.

We all know about the outbreak of COVID-19 and the resulting lockdown. Apart from lockdown, it is very risky to go out unnecessarily. Hence, most of the people are spending time at home. For teens it is the most difficult thing because some are missing their school life, some are missing college days while some are missing the meetups with their mains. Therefore, here is a list of things one can do to avoid boredom and stress:

1. Try your hand in cooking new dishes because it's not safe to eat restaurant food. It will help your mom too in kitchen work.

2. As outdoor games are not an option for the time being, give some time to indoor games like ludo, carrom, etc. Playing it with all the family members will give more pleasure.

3. If you are a bibliophile, then go through your school or college books. It's the best time to study. If not education-related books, try some good novels. Besides increasing vocabulary and reading skills, it will give you a jolly time.

4. Watch some movies at night or complete your incompletely watched web series.

5. Being at home has reduced your physical activity considerably, hence it's important to exercise at home with whatever equipment you have or go for weight-bearing exercises.

6. As being fit from inside is a necessity nowadays, you need to eat healthy especially protein and vitamin C rich diet to boost up your immunity.
