Talking to kids about COVID-19

Good afternoon everyone,

For the first of our COVID-19 resource posts, here are some resources for talking to your kids about COVID-19:

  1. Here is a video from brainpop that explains what the coronavirus is in a kid-friendly way. 
  2. Here is an excellent article from Virginia Theological Seminary's "building faith" about how to talk with your kids in a non-anxious, developmentally appropriate, and theologically appropriate way. 
  3. Here is a comic that explains the new coronavirus for kids from KQED, and an article about how kids, parents, teachers, librarians, etc. are using this comic around the world.  
  4. Here is an article from the New York Times about talking with teens and tweens about coronavirus and managing any feelings of anxiety. 
If you have or know of other great resources about talking to your kids about the coronavirus or want to share your experience, please email me or share in the comments for this post!
