Current events related to the COVID-19 virus can be stressful and confusing for families and communities. When adults are distressed, it can feel overwhelming to also consider how to help your children understand this evolving situation. The team at Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago at the Center for Childhood Resilience (CCR) would like to share some ideas for caregivers and other adults working with children that they believe can be helpful as we all cope with the changing information, recommendations and limitations to our normal routines and activities.
