Guiding Your Child Through COVID-19

Most children are aware of the new coronavirus from news, social media, or school and event closures. Children benefit from simple, honest communication to prevent worry, fear or misconceptions about new life experiences. Children often sense their caregiver's worry and stress, and that can lead to the child experiencing similar feelings. The child life specialists at Inova Children’s Hospital have created the following resources to provide you with child-friendly language to guide your conversations with children and ideas to support your family during this time of constant change.
