My 3 year old is starting to realize things are weird and it's so sad ...

My kids are much older (youngest is a teen) so I don’t know if I would or wouldn’t get into the specifics of the fact some kids get really sick, but I wouldn’t tell them kids don’t get it. It’s important your child knows to be extra careful washing hands and sneezing into elbows.

But you can go out. Go through a drive for a happy meal. Go on a walk or bike ride on a trial. Fly a kite in an open field. Have your child FaceTime with a friend. They can talk and virtually play together.

I have a 3 and 4 year old. They show off their toys to one another and watch each other transform their transformers. You must not have a 3 year old that likes watching videos of others opening and playing with toys. It’s the new norm, try it....

Agreed, when kids are little, you are the whole world anyway. Mine is thrilled because we get out and go scooter riding every day. He doesn’t know about people getting sick. Why should he know? As far as he’s concerned, we are on an extended holiday.

I just posted this in another post..

It is really helpful for explaining the virus to kids and helping them work through their emotions. And they can color it!

Good job! Honestly, we need more rational and protective parents. Shut off the tv, stoping moping and make this fun.

Do you not realize some kids react differently than others?

I have to keep working, on a staggered schedule. I can't stay home with her -- at least not every day.

Not every situation is like yours.

Some of us can't spend every day with our kids during this time period. Have some empathy for the fact that not everyone has the same situation as you.

I think kids would be a lot better off if parents would model some less "sad" behavior. To treat this as "really sad" is coming from a place of extreme privilege. Sad is what happened to Gabriel Fernandez. Perspective people.

Why do you assume we convey this to our kids? Come on.

Also, it isn't privileged to say this is sad -- it's a FKING pandemic.

11,374 people have been confirmed to have this in the USA.

171 people have died.

shut the fk up with your "it's privileged to think this is sad" BS.

I'm pretty good at conveying a sense of calm to my kids.

Actually, new study came out yesterday that kids and young people are more vulnerable to getting pretty sick with virus than they initially thought. It’s still more dangerous with older people, but young people are no longer in clear
