Start off by figuring out what they already know.
," said Allen."Hand-washing is the single most important tool kids have in their power to get rid of germs. It may also help to remind them how important it is to get a good night's sleep and eat well in order to build a robust immune system," she added. Allen recommends that parents remind kids to use soap and water, rub vigorously for at least 20 seconds , and then rise off the soap . Dr.
Your kids may still be concerned when they see people walking around with masks, however, and the best thing you can do is to comfort and reassure them in an age-appropriate way."Children don't need a long list of information, but do need basic facts about the coronavirus. Tie it to an illness they understand or may have had personal experience with, so they can understand that while the Coronavirus is serious, it isn't any more serious than the flu," Dr.
You may want to tell them that sometimes people who are sick wear masks to stop others from catching their germs, but people who aren't sick don't need them, and should instead focus on the safety measures we already mentioned.Kids may have heard that schools in other countries, and, have closed in an attempt to stop the spread of coronavirus.
No matter the topic of conversation, Allen recommends that parents"convey a tone of empowerment–rather than fear–in order to comfort their kids." Remind them that if their school does close, it is simply to help keep everybody healthy. Let them know that man schools have plans in place to help kids keep learning from home and that you'll havetogether at home.
After speaking with Allen and Dr. Capanna-Hodge, my plan is to start by asking my eldest son what he knows about coronavirus and go from there. If he has heard untrue rumors or is concerned about certain aspects of the virus, I now have the necessary information to educate and empower him and, hopefully, calm his fears.after working through these tips, Allen suggests that you contact a therapist or your child's school counselor.
