It is important to talk with your children about the pandemic we are now experiencing.
There are many reasons to speak openly and honestly with your children, whatever their age.
1-When we do not discuss matters, our fears often grow out of proportion, we feel helpless and become even more stress. Stress lowers our immune levels and makes us more vulnerable to whatever illness is active.
2- Children can deal with this imformation if you tell them in a calm way.
3- Children and adults like to know what they can do to help themselves and others. So concrete activities (such as handwashing) are very important.
