COVID-19 Information
Resources for Children, Parents, Childcare Providers, and Others
Wondering how to talk to children about what’s going on in the world? Not sure how to explain why people are wearing masks, or what Covid-19 means in a way that provides information but is age appropriate? The changes that we understand as adults—even if they are still uncomfortable for us, like wearing masks, or not hugging or shaking hands—are even more difficult to understand as a child. Luckily, there are a number of resources available that can help make these conversations easier, and even fun. Talking about these issues—from why schools are closed to why everyone is wearing masks to why visits to our favorite grandparents aren’t possible right now—can help children adjust to the “new normal” in a way that is healthy and age appropriate.
Even if you’re not a parent, but you work in an organization that works with children, or provides programming for children, this information can be helpful.
