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.
