The New Normal

 The wearing of masks, regular washing of hands and hand sanitizing with alcohol based sanitizer became our new normal. 

Wearing of a mask help prevent the spread of respiratory droplets and if everyone wears a mask when out in public, the risk of exposure to Covid-19 will be reduced in the community. 

At this point it's not about should we talk to kids about Covid-19 but it's what should we talk to them about. 

Children are known to thrive with an established routine.

However their usual day to day processes have been turned upside down due to corona virus.

Some kids may be experiencing increased negative emotions such as stress, anxiety and frustrations compared to other kids who adjust easily to all of the changes.

Parents and families are trying to adjust to a new way of doing life with remote job tasks, virtual learning from home and social distancing.
