Talking to your child about the Coronavirus –
https://s3.amazonaws.com/scschoolfiles/889/coronavirus_information_for_parents.pdf
Limit your children’s exposure to the media and remain calm about this issue with your children in order to help them address their fears. I have had several children ask me about the Coronavirus over the past week – just curious about what it is and what it might mean for us. Now that we are out of school, there is a temporary change to all of our schedules. Answer any questions your children might have in a way that will not cause them to become fearful. Stress the importance of washing hands properly. Check out some of the tips above and enjoy your time together.
If I can be of any assistance, I am available to answer any questions or help in any way. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
