Episode 31,   Apr 06, 2020, 09:36 AM

How do we talk to kids about Coronavirus? 

This is a difficult period of time for many families. Seek support early if you feel you aren’t coping, GP’s can be the first step in this process and are still open and available to talk through any challenges. It is ok to feel worried or anxious. In this podcast, I want to try to keep things simple for you, offering practical tips and strategies.

Today I will be chatting about:
-How to talk to children of different ages about the coronavirus
-How to use effective measures around the house to protect yourselves and each other
-Anxiety and stress in children
-Anxiety and stress in yourself
