Talking to Your Children About the Corona Virus

Hello families,

This is a stressful time for us all and there is a definite "trickle down" effect for our children at home.  They may  hear the news, listen to conversations from another room, and read our concern on our faces.  They cannot process all of this information as we do and this can cause stress, worry and anxiety.  Here are some wonderful resources to help you talk to your children.
