Remote Learning Plan - Moral Instruction -Grade 1

Hi My Dear Kids.....

Everyone is talking about coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and everywhere you look there’s information on the virus and how to protect yourself from it. Knowing the facts is key to being properly prepared and protecting yourself and your loved ones.

Dear Parents...

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by everything you’re hearing about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) right now. It’s also understandable if your children are feeling anxious, too. Children might find it difficult to understand what they are seeing online or on TV – or hearing from other people – so they can be particularly vulnerable to feelings of anxiety, stress and sadness. But having an open, supportive discussion with your children can help them understand, cope and even make a positive contribution for others.

How to talk to your child about COVID- 19

1.  Ask open questions and listen

2.  Be honest: explain the truth in a child-friendly way

3. Show them how to protect themselves and their friends

4. Offer reassurance

5. Check if they are experiencing or spreading stigma

6. Look for the helpers (It’s important for children to know that people are helping each other with acts of kindness and generosity)

7. Take care of yourself

8. Close conversations with care

It’s important to know that we’re not leaving children in a state of distress. As your conversation wraps up, try to gauge their level of anxiety by watching their body language, considering whether they’re using their usual tone of voice and watching their breathing.

Remind your children that they can have other difficult conversations with you at any time. Remind them that you care, you’re listening and that you’re available whenever they’re feeling worried.
