Here are some tips when talking to your children about Coronavirus;
DO: – Tell the truth about how you feel. It will make it safe for your child to do the same. – Remember that every child has a unique perception about what they hear and believe about COVID-19. – Listen with your heart, not your head. Allow kids to share their emotions without judgment or criticism. DON’T: – Don’t say “Don’t feel sad.” Sadness is a healthy and normal reaction to the possibility of someone they know getting sick. – Don’t make promises that you cannot keep. Instead of saying “Everything’s going to be okay,” say, “We’ll do everything we can to be safe.”
