EXPLAINING DIFFICULT THINGS8 April 2020 (by admin) |
Sometimes it's hard to find the right words when you are trying to explain 'difficult and upsetting' news to very young children.
Our English Lead (Miss Reely) has sent a book that is good to read to your child - it is really aimed at children between the ages of 5 to 9 years old. Take a look at it first and see what you think.
It's a lovely, free, digital book that has recently been released which explains 'Coronavirus' to children in a really informative way that hopefully they will find helpful. As mentioned, it’s aimed at children between the ages of 5-9. It might be useful for you as a family.
Some parents may choose not to read this to their child/children and of course that is your parental choice but it may help your child if they are feeling a bit anxious and confused about it all.
See what you think parents - don’t worry if you think it’s a bad idea but we do know other teaching staff and other educational establishments have shown their children/parents.
STAY SAFE!
