A Kids Guide to Understanding

the Coronavirus

Most children have heard about the coronavirus either in school or at home. They may have

seen people wearing face masks or heard statistics on the news. Talking to your child about

facts in a developmentally appropriate way can help to alleviate worry and fear. Ask your

child what they already know, may have heard, or how they feel. This will allow you to judge

how best to answer their questions honestly and clearly without offering too much

information that may overwhelm them. This guide can be used to help you speak with your

child about the Coronavirus in a developmentally friendly way.

What is the Coronavirus?

The Coronavirus is a virus that causes illnesses like the common cold or COVID-19.

COVID-19 is a virus that can cause fever, a cough, and difficulty breathing. It is

passed from person to person through droplets when people sneeze or cough. If

someone sneezes without using a tissue or covering with the inside of their elbow,

droplets can land on a desk, or other surface. If another person touches that same

desk or surface and then touches their face, they could get sick. This is why handwashing and

covering when coughing and sneezing is so important. A healthy body can usually fight off

this virus, known as COVID-19, and many kids only have mild symptoms if they do catch it.

Why is school closed?

Doctors and health officials have asked us to avoid large crowds to reduce the amount of

germs we spread. Some of these large crowds include school. Everyone at school cares about

you and they want to make sure you and your family stay healthy and safe.

What can I do to keep myself healthy?

The Coronavirus is spread mostly by people coughing and touching

surfaces with germs. If you have to sneeze or cough, use a tissue or the

inside of your elbow.

Use soap and water to keep your hands clean. Wash the front and

back of your hands for at least 20 seconds (trying singing the Happy

Birthday song) before eating, when you come in from outside, and

after coughing, sneezing or using the bathroom.

Try not to touch your face (eyes, mouth, nose) with your hands.

Keep your body strong by getting lots of sleep, eating healthy foods,

and drinking plenty of water!

Talk about your feelings. Having a trusted adult to talk with can help you feel calm and

safe.

How to calm my worries and fears.

When we are worried, our thoughts can have an effect on the way our body feels.

Some common symptoms are headache, stomach ache, heavy breathing and a fast

heartbeat. This is a normal response caused by our bodies to protect us from

danger. Sometimes our brain can’t tell the different between real danger and our

thoughts, or worries. Try these activities below to help your brain re-gain

control and feel better!

Slow, Deep Breathing When we control our breathing, it helps to calm our bodies down and let us think clearly.

Pretend you are holding a cop of hot cocoa.

Take a slow deep breath in – imagine you are trying to

smell the chocolate.

Exhale slowly – as you use your breath to cool the hot drink.

Repeat 5 times or until your breathing has slowed.

Keep a Routine When you are at school, your day is structured. Knowing what is going to

happen gives us a feeling of comfort and control. Try setting a schedule

at home with your family or creating daily goals that you can keep track

of. For example you could try Math Monday’s, Time to Read Tuesday’s,

and set a goal for how many random acts of kindness you can do.

Get Active Finding an activity you love to do can take your mind off any worries. Exercise and physical

activity also help improve your mood by releasing important chemicals in your brain that make

you feel happy and less stressed.

Color, paint, draw, or write in a journal

Play a board game with your family

Do jumping jacks, or run laps in your yard

Dance, sing, play an instrument

Talk it Up Remember, it is ok to have worries. It is also important to remember to talk about those

worries with someone you trust.

Talk about how you are feeling with the trusted adults around you and

ask questions if you have any. They are paying attention to what is going

on and are here to help.

Talk with family or loved ones that live far away by phone or video chat.

Talk to your friends! Even if you can’t see them every day, a phone call

or message can keep everyone feeling connected.

Skill 1: Listening pre-K and (elem.)

SKILL STEPS

1. Look (Look at the person who is talking.)Discuss the importance of looking at the person who is talking. Point out to students thatsometimes others may think someone isn’t listening, even though he/she has heard what wassaid. These steps are to show someone that you are really listening. (second paragraph is thesame for both pre-k and elementary.

2. Stay still (Sit quietly.)Remind the students that staying still means keeping hands and feet still and not talking withfriends. (These steps are to show someone that you really are listening.)

3. Think (Think about what is being said.)Encourage students think about what the person is saying and be sure they understand if theperson is asking them to do something. (Tell students to sit (or stand) facing the person andremember not to laugh, fidget, play with something, and so on.)

4. (Say yes or nod your head.)(Discuss with students that both verbal and nonverbal messages are important to show that aperson is listening.)

5. (Ask a question about the topic to find out more.)(Discuss relevant questions (i.e., ones that do not change the topic).)

SUGGESTED MODELING SITUATIONS

▶ School: Your teacher tells you that you are to go to the art center or gives you instructions onhow to do an activity. (Your teacher explains an assignment.)

▶ Home: A parent is telling you the plans for the weekend. (Your parents are talking with youabout how to do a chore.)

▶ Peer group: A friend is telling you a story. (Another student tells about a story he/she read orwhat he/she did over the week-end.)

▶ (Community: A store manager is telling you the rules about kids being in the store.)

COMMENTS

This is a good skill with which to begin your Skillstreaming group. Adults often tell young children to listen without explaining the specific behaviors or steps necessary to do so. Once the skill of listening is learned, it can be incorporated into classroom rules. Giving the children a special cue to listen (e.g., "Do you have your listening ears on?") may help them apply the skills when needed. (This is an excellent skill with which to begin your Skillstreaming group. Once students learn the skill of Listening, it can be incorporated into group or classroom rules. You can emphasize the behaviors that show someone is listening by modeling listening behaviors yourself.)RELANTED ACTIVITESPlay listening games such as Simon Says.

IDEAS FOR USING ‘GOOD’ & ‘BAD’

1. Model good and bad throughout the day as incidental learning opportunities occur, eg.spill the water - BAD, funny joke - GOOD, broke a toy - BAD, achieved a goal - GOOD,ripped your paper -BAD, did great work - GOOD, drop a cup - BAD, help a friend - GOOD,etc.

2. Listen to music (of all different types) and discuss your opinions of whether you thoughtit was GOOD or BAD.

3. Look at artwork, craft projects, paintings, sculptures, etc. (at an art gallery, or on theinternet) and discuss your opinions of whether you think it looks GOOD or BAD.

4. Design outfits for people (craft activity, drawing activity, or even using an app like TocaTailor), and discuss your opinions of whether you think the outfits look GOOD or BAD.

5. Be movie/TV show/ book reviewers. Discuss your opinion of whether you thought it wasGOOD or BAD. Extend language by saying WHY.. eg. “It was good because the bear wasfunny”

6. Take photos of GOOD things happening, and BAD things happening. Model GOOD andBAD as you look the photos.

7. Discuss GOOD and BAD characters and superheroes in stories, cartoons and fairy tales.Describe WHY they were GOOD or BAD. Save photos of GOOD and BAD characters tocreate a GOOD VS BAD book.

SPECIFIC GRAMMAR

1. Prepositions are often used with various verbs to convey concepts that don’t haveanything to do with the concrete concepts of up and down. These are called phrasalverbs, and examples include: hang up, check up, keep up, look up, pass up, put up, turnup, come up, bring up, get up, give up, think up, call up, use up, show up. These formscan be difficult to learn as they are not concrete, so it’s important to model these whenthey “come up” in conversation - be sure to “bring them up”!

IDEAS FOR USING ‘UP’ & ‘DOWN’

1. Watch the Angelman Syndrome Foundation Communication Training Series video thatcovers teaching “up”/“down”: youtu.be/_aQh7XhxYZ4 andwww.angelman.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/4th-set-four-core.pdf

2. While playing with balls and balloons, model UP & DOWN as you throw them up anddown.

3. Make ramps and tunnels and model UP & DOWN as you drive cars and transport up anddown.

4. Take photos of a favourite toy going up and down things around the school/home.Model UP & DOWN as you talk about the photos.

down.7. Out & about: model UP & DOWN as you go up & down stairs, hills, elevators,
