Corona Virus and Your Family
Episode 74
Part One: Talking With Our Kids about Corona Virus
- Manage your own stress
- How old are your kids?
- Talk with them at an age appropriate way. Be calm and reassuring.
Is the news to scary for our kids? https://parenting.nytimes.com/culture/kids-current-events
Under age 7, focus on health basics unless your kids ask you. And if they ask you about it first start by asking them what they know.
Over age 7, bring it up, ask what they know. Start where they are and share resources that are age appropriate. Be truthful and let them know that you take them serious.

- Move your body in a way that feels good: dancing, stretching, running, biking, yoga.
- Laugh! Motherhood is way too serious to be serious all the time
- Clean out your socks, underwear, and bras. What do you need? I mention pjs-- I love these Joyspun Women's Ribbed Velour Top and Pants Pajama Set with Oversized Scrunchie, 3-Piece, Sizes S to 3X - Walmart.com
- Have a 1:1 with each person in your house to know what tradition matters, you'll be left with a manageable, meaningful list.
- Be still with yourself for 10 minutes. Still and silent. Let yourself notice your light. “There is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.” Amanda Gorman
Family Fun: Play the keepy uppy game with a balloon and Christmas songs.
Self-Care: Clean your purse and prep it for the cold weather season. Mini Kleenex, lip balm, hand lotion, hand gell, coins for the bell ringers? Take care of future you.
