Dear parents,

A few of you were wondering  how to talk about your child about Covid 19, how explain things to your child so they could understand.

Children might ask: ” Why I can’t go to StrongStart?” Here is age-appropriate answer: “The Strongstart (the school) is closed now. Your teacher is at home now and all your friends are at home, with their family, just like you. When StrongStart gets open, we can go back and see your friends and have fun together. ” Avoid going into too many details.

Here is a link to the full that article with more questions and answers. Thanks Anita for the links.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has put out this very simple poster on how to help our kids to cope with stress – children may need extra support and attention as we go through these challenging times.
