Talking to Children about COVID-19 (Corona Virus): A Parent Resource
Concern over this new virus can make children and families anxious. Helping children cope with anxiety requires providing accurate prevention information, acknowledging some level of concern without causing undue concern. Remembering that children look to adults for guidance on how to react in stressful situations is important to remember both at home and in the schools. This resource from the National Association of School Psychologists provides specific guidelines on how to talk to and listen to children when tensions are high. This resource may be downloaded in English, Spanish, Amharic, Chinese, Korean
