How Do We Support Young Children's Feelings During The COVID19 Pandemic?

4/10/2020

 
 Young children know something is "different", they are feeling the stress, the anxiety, the uncertainty. Young children are missing their family, friends, and teachers. They are craving their old routines and schedules. Why did everything change so suddenly for them?  

As caregivers, we want to hide all COVID-19 pandemic news from children and lock it up. Put it away. The less they know, the better, right? It is how I feel most days because how can we explain such an important,  complicated matter to a child? Making sure we're addressing this appropriately with our children may add even more anxiety for parents, caregivers and teachers.

I am excited to share a newsletter that I found really helpful written by a child psychologist who I worked closely with when teaching Transitional Kindergarten in Massachusetts. She helped one of my five-year old students through a painful trauma in her young life, and I have so much respect for this professional. 

With Love, 
Morgan
