As the COVID-19 pandemic touches every aspect of our lives, we want you to know you and your family are not alone. This is an uncertain time for us all; staying at home for lengthy periods of time can be challenging for anyone, but especially for young children who may not understand why they can't visit their friends or family.Here are some fun activities to help your family adjust to this time. We'll be posting new ideas each week for ways you and your little ones can move, get creative and eat healthy while you are at home.
Visit our resources page for more helpful information on how to talk to young children about coronavirus, how to de-stress as a family and more.
