Ochsner Toolkit Helps Parents Talk to Kids About Coronavirus
In the rush to make sure we've got enough supplies to barricade ourselves inside of a toilet paper fort until the Coronavirus pandemic blows over, it can be easy to overlook how scary this can be for our kids. Our little ones are looking to us for more than 2 weeks worth of ramen noodles - they need as much, if not more, reassurance that things are going to be OK if we take the right precautions.
To that end, the incredible health officials at Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport have put together a digital toolkit for parents. This 18 page pdf is an excellent source of straight forward facts and suggestions that will help kids (and parents) live a cautious not cowardly life in the age of Coronavirus.
The ArkLaTex Homepage reports that the guide will help families navigate the delicate world of "social distancing," proper and effective hygiene, and even avoiding cabin fever with the extended "Spring Break" Louisiana kids are experiencing right now. Take a look at it with your family here.
