We believe it is necessary to talk about what is happening in regard to the pandemic with the children in our care in developmentally informed ways. The recent unprecedented situation and subsequent grief and loss they may be experiencing due to significant changes in their lives, potential loss of childhood milestones, fear of and/or experience of illness and death within their families are realities our children, and we, may need support to navigate. We've collected a wealth of resources to help adults educate themselves about how to engage with young people about the global pandemic, including information presented for a variety of ages, interviews with medical professionals who answer kids' questions about the novel coronavirus and covid-19, videos with familiar characters discussing what kids need to know and booklists to  support these conversations. Importantly, while there are many aspects of this crisis which are scary, when you have more information in order to understand what is happening it is possible to also be brave and safe in this time.  The resources here are not exhaustive, but we hope this will be useful to you in supporting the children in your care. We will continue to revise this space to offer the most current information as this situation changes. ​
