How To Talk To Your Kids About Coronavirus
The best ways to approach the topic
This morning Tim & Jess caught up with Dr Sarah Hughes to learn about the practical ways that parents and other members of the community can assist kids and teens during the stressful and disorienting changes that may come as a result of COVID-19.
She explained that while it's important for kids to have an understanding about what's going on, they also need to be protected from overwhelming and unnecessary messages.
Dr Hughes also discussed how your reactions and panic messages can cause young Australians - specifically teenagers - to be too dismissive of social distancing measures, and how you can better approach these conversations.
