Tips for Addressing the Corona VirusFor ParentsLive Science notes that children seem least likely to contract the virus. Scientists are workingto understand this, but one possibility is that the innate immune response tends to be moreactive in children. That said, keep kids home when they have any type of �u symptoms.
Often, children don't talk about their fears. They �gure if we don't bring it up, we think theyshould be able to handle it on their own. Another aspect of this is that if we ask directly, "Areyou worried about the corona virus," many youth will deny their fears.
Making them the experts is a wonderful way to open the conversation. Try something like this:"I've been hearing on the news that a lot of kids are worried about the corona virus. Are kids atyour school talking about it?" Now children don’t have to own or deny their own fears. It feelsmuch less vulnerable to speak about others, but we can know that everything they say isframed by their own take on this.Download Our COVID-19 Parent Guide
