Talking to children about corona virus

June 3, 2020 / / 0 Comments
This is a gentle reassuring tool for parents that also has some strategies to assist in answering difficult questions. I like it because it reminds us to be age appropriate in our answers so as not to cause further concerns for our little ones
As the COVID-19 crisis continues to unfold, many parents are wondering how to talk to children about the impacts of the virus in a way that will be reassuring and not make kids more worried than they already may be. Here is some advice from the experts at the Child Mind Institute.

Good Morning

It’s going to be a beautiful week-end!

  • Mother’s Day is this Sunday and although we are still taking care to be safe and healthy during the pandemic we can still honour our mother’s and celebrate their work! Our celebrations and rituals may feel a bit different during this time but if this is a ritual you like to celebrate – celebrate on! I’m sure you have your own way of celebrating but here’s a couple more super simple ideas for you and your family that can easily be done during social distancing and maybe even become yearly rituals.

o   Create a picture slide show from the past year

o   Virtual bake offs with your mom

o   Create a mother’s day playlist (or mixed tape!)

o   Plant some seeds or a flower with your little one

o   Selfie series with the kiddos

 

  • If you have any questions, concerns, or curiosities about your little ones – I will be in the doxy room for one on one consultations today between 3-4 pm; just clickhttps://doxy.me/earlychildhoodcommunityconsultantand wait for me to let you in! If this time isn’t convenient to you – let me know and we can schedule a different time that does work for you. See you soon!

Enjoy the sunshine and summery weather!
