I can talk to my child, listen to my child and answer his or her questions. I can help him or her to feel safe. I can keep my child near me when he or she is frightened. I can keep to the usual routines and discipline in our home (that we are used to), so that everything feels normal. I can keep my child healthy. I can keep my home and family extra clean to help prevent infections. I can give my child healthy food, often during the day to help him or her to be strong. I can make sure my child gets enough sleep and rest. I can take my child regularly to the clinic for check-ups. I can help my child get early treatment for any illness. 60 Children The KGOLO-MMOGO PROJECT
