Understanding Children's Response to Stress
Children may react differently to stress compared to adults. It's crucial to:
- Offer Support: Listen to their concerns and provide extra reassurance, love, and attention.
- Stay Connected: Keep children close to their parents and family, maintaining regular contact via phone or messages if separation occurs.
- Maintain Routines: Stick to regular schedules and routines to provide stability.
- Encourage Play: Create opportunities for children to play and relax, promoting their emotional well-being.
Providing Information and Education
It's essential to equip children with accurate information about COVID-19:
- Share Facts: Provide children with factual information about the virus, including its impact and preventive measures.
- Reduce Risk: Explain how they can reduce the risk of infection through hygiene and safety practices.
