General guidelines:
(1). Children should be dressed appropriately as if they are at a regular session. They will see all other kids and facilitators throughout this period on video. A screenshot of how they see each other is given below.
(2). There should be a device that can independently stand itself on a desk at eye height. Laptop, desktop, tablet or ipad is recommended. Mobile phones are not appropriate since the screen is smaller and the viewing features are different.
(3). The setting should allow the children to follow a guided walking session hence it is advisable to have sufficient space to walk at least 10 steps.
(4). When seated (on a chair or the floor) the video should show the child’s face similar to a passport photo ( i.e. chest up). See below setup as a guideline.
(5). Multiple connections from the same household may affect the signal strength if using WiFi, therefore use a maximum of two devices per household.
(6). Parents should be available to assist the children in managing the session.
