“During any rapidly changing situation, loss of daily routine, isolation and uncertainty can lead to anxiety, fear, depression and loneliness. Information overload, rumors and misinformation can make you feel out of control and make it unclear what to do. When you feel this way, your kids may feel it too — and they often sense the way you’re feeling. Talking to them about what’s going on can be challenging.”
“COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) has become a source of daily conversation. As a caregiver, you may be wondering how to support your kids’ developmental needs and understanding of COVID-19. Honest and accurate discussion with your kids about COVID-19 can help them understand what’s happening, relieve some of their fears, make them feel safe and help them begin to cope.”
