dust storm :(

[sabeenmansoor]

Hi everyone
Today we have a very bad dust storm in Dubai I just wanted to know how do you all send your kids to school? I mean to be more precisely what precautions do you take for your kids in such duststorms ? My son has dust allergy so I didn't send him to school today (as I am afraid he will have wheezing etc) but you can't do that especially when these storms are so common. So please advise me.........thanks

I tell them to man up and be thankful I'm not sending them to work down the coal mines like I had to when I were a nipper.

Just give a scarf to put over their face and stick a handheld gps in their pocket, then they will be good to go.

Yeah, why didn't you just cover his face with a scarf (invest in a dust mask) and send him off?
He should be fine within the confines of the school....

Yeah ThaNks for the idea I think scarf or mask will be better rather than staying at home and miss all the lessons......

My son is at school, and we are expecting that he will be under the weather for the rest of the week.

I don't like dust storms I have heard that it might rather later in afternoon atleast then we can see the beautiful sun )

Kids allergies are terrible and its quite heartbreaking to see your child suffer. As long as the school doesn't let your child play outside during the sandstorm, he should be fine.

My son gets dust allergies too but luckily for me, I was too lazy to wake up this morning after a very long trip so we both slept in

you moved to a desert knowing that your kid had a dust allergy?

[sabeenmansoor]

No actually he was born here so we really can't do anything about the allergies ....only can control them thru medicines
