Talking To Your Children About COVID-19

Key Tips:

1. Don't be afraid to discuss the coronavirus, but make sure you are providing developmentally-approporiate information.

2. Focus on what you and other adults are doing to stay safe. This takes the responsibility from the child and reasurres them that the adults are taking care of it.

3. Limit your child's exposure to the news. It can increase their anxiety with images and language that is better geared for adults.
