Coronavirus Outbreak: Reassure your child

Your Child Asks:

Why can’t I go to school?

Why do I have to stay home all day?

Why can’t we go to mall?

What Not To Say:

Because the government says we have to stay home. The coronavirus is dangerous, it spreads easily and we can fall sick.

Your Child Thinks:

This is scary stuff. We all are going to die.

What To Say Instead:

The virus survives only when it lives inside people’s bodies. When we stay at home, we are hiding in a place where the virus can’t find us. If all of us hide, the virus can’t find people to go live inside their bodies. The virus will then die. We all want to kill the virus before it can hurt more people.

Your child thinks:

If I stay home, I am also the warrior who’s fighting the evil virus.

Stay Safe Stay Home fight Coronavirus like a warrior
