Talking to Children about Covid-19: Our Interview with an Expert

March 22, 2020 By From The Editors

Are you wondering how to talk to your kids about the stay at home order, social distancing, and what’s next as we navigate this situation? We are!

Emily Hurth, a Child Life Specialist at Carle and instructor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, chats with us and gives us some practical tools to use when talking with our kids about what’s happening now – and other crisis situations.

This short yet information-filled interview will help you address the youngest of children who are trying to navigate a really different world; older children who are missing their friends; and more.

Here’s the book we mention in the chat that comes in many languages: https://www.mindheart.co/descargables
