Talking to Kids About the Coronavirus
"News of the coronavirus COVID-19 is everywhere, from the front page of all the papers to the playground at school. Many parents are wondering how to bring up the epidemic in a way that will be reassuring and not make kids more worried than they already may be."
Just For Kids: A Comic Exploring The New Coronavirus
Just For Kids: A Comic Exploring The New Coronavirus
This comic is "based on a radio story that NPR education reporter Cory Turner did. He asked some experts what kids might want to know about the new coronavirus discovered in China."
Families, please keep in mind that it is important to talk with children about these current events. The unknown can be scary, and some children have misconceptions that are much scarier than the reality. This comic is one way to share the truth and discuss the things kids can actually control, like washing their hands and protecting themselves from germs.
