Staying Safe

One thing I have made sure to keep in mind during all of this is that while we are nervous about catching virus germs, it's important to remember that proper hygiene and sanitation go a long way in preventing ANY type of illness! Therefore, practice good hygiene by washing your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, cover your nose when you sneeze, staying home when you feel sick, and the new one of keeping a safe distance of 6 feet from others in order to not catch any germ (I am a hugger so I hope the distance rule isn't long-term, but right now, I will practice it!).

Below are videos about safety measures to discuss as a family in a kid-friendly way including how to properly washing our hands to stay safe! Nickelodeon recently did a town hall forum answering questions that kids currently have about the pandemic, which was very informative and presented in a way kids can understand- link is below along with 2 parent guides!

Also below is the social story about germs and how to protect against germs from my weekly lesson (found on my lessons page) along with several activities you can do as a family to continue to discuss the story and the topic!
