Talking to Kids About the Coronavirus
Holding classes amid a virus can be really scary to children and can put stress on them as well as parents. During these challenging times, we need to continue to provide stability and reassurance to our little ones. When you are talking to your kids about a pandemic, follow their cues. It is best to reassure them while providing factual, age-appropriate information in addition to steps on how to avoid the spread of infection.
