Social/Emotional Resources for Parents

We all know this is a difficult and stressful time for all adults across the country, but it is also important that we address the social and emotional needs of our children.

Many children struggle to understand what is going on currently with the coronavirus pandemic and why they cannot go to school or play with their friends. As a district, we believe that it was important to share with you some resources that may assist you in talking to your child about the COVID-19, and to help you assist with their stress during this situation. Also included at the end of the list are some local resources should your child have significant mental or emotional needs. The most important thing we can do right now on a daily basis is to reinforce to children that they are safe, not to be afraid, to answer their questions and try to keep them in some sort of routine at home.

The resources below have been reviewed by our district counselors and social workers.
