MOM Keep Calm
Create COVID care boxes with your kids Instead of thinking about what they can’t do, help them see what they can do. Make this an opportunity to nurture compassion within your child’s heart. Reaching out to others will redirect your kid’s focus from themselves to others. Here is how to get started: 1. Take time to think about all the people you or your family members know. 2. Reach out to them and check to see if they are well. 3. Help out if they are sick. Upon reflection of our experience with COVID, here is a list of items that could help you care for those you love.

Turn their eyes outward.
There is a high likelihood that someone you know has had or currently has COVID-19. It’s a helpless feeling knowing that the people you care about are suffering. As I am writing this article, my family and I are in the final days of our COVID journey. That being the case, I have had plenty of time to stare at the walls in my home. When I couldn’t sleep, I pondered ways to make these pandemic days a growing experience for your kids.
