COVID 19 Conversations with Children





04.04.20



It is important not to leave children feeling worried after a conversation. It is important to close conversations with care.

  • When you wrap up your conversations, look for signs they're feeling anxious. This might be a change in their tone of voice, their breathing or body language.

  • Comfort them if they feel this way.
