My hope with this blog is to share resources and information to support students/parents during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
*Feel free to check out the BrainPop video below and decide if it's something you want to share with your children
*Check out the Child Institute video for support with discussing the pandemic in a way that is mindful of potential worry :)
(The article has a ton of pointers for how to manage "worry contagion" surrounding a pandemic of this nature)
For starters, parents can:
- Limit their children's exposure to the media
- Provide a calming/coregulating influence to their children as needed (and remind them of their calming strategies)
- Help students address their fears with guided logic
Click here for a great PDF with resources for talking to your child about the pandemic and what to do if you're feeling worried about it all :)
I will be updating this blog and sharing more information if we transition to an online learning model.
