The climate influence on the way and place of childcare and its impact on children's health

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study is to look at the effects of climate on the way and place of childcare and their impact on children's health. Method: The method used is field exploration by observing how parents take care of their children, and measuring the temperature and humidity of the caregiver, besides looking for secondary data at the local health center regarding the level of health of infants (health center visits for treatment and types of diseases that are mainly affected by climate). Result: Soil as a reservoir for germs occurs because the residential environment is not clean due to a poor drainage system which results in dirty water not being channeled properly, being absorbed into the soil and stagnant. In addition, high wind speeds also have an impact on household displacement from endemic places into settlements. It takes non-physical and physical efforts to prevent children from contracting the disease. Non-physical efforts through good behavior, and physically by making playtime comfortable and safe for children. Conclusion: Children who play in nature using soil media are at risk of causing disease. Soil as a reservoir for germs occurs because the residential environment is not clean due to a poor drainage system, resulting in dirty water not being channeled properly, absorbed into the soil and stagnant.
