We know that families are having important conversations about the way the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting all our lives. Children – and parents – may feel overwhelmed at times, and parents are sometimes unsure of the best way to teach their kids of different ages about the virus. Families also need to know that all the emotions they feel are valid as we go through this together, and one of the best things we can do is listen to each other and talk about what we are thinking and feeling.
