1. "Your child will need to rest and avoid strenuous activities for a while after surgery."
2. "It's important for your child to take it easy and gradually increase activity level as directed by the healthcare team."
3. "Your child should avoid vigorous physical activities and follow the guidance provided by the medical team."
4. "The activity level will need to be limited initially, with gradual reintroduction of normal activities as your child recovers."
