[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4 yr old understands that there's a virus that travels from person to person through the air, and that's why we're not being around people right now, and when we go for walks even if we see someone we really like, we're staying a bit away from them. She understands the germs can make people very sick.

She understands that the deliveries that come have been touched by people who might carry the germs and that's why we're wiping everything down carefully and washing our hands  for the ABC song each time we've gone outside.  [/quote]

Same, and same for all of the friends and classmates we've video chatted with. My 4 year old knows everything is closed and we have to keep space between us and other people because there's a virus that is making people sick. And even if she doesn't feel sick, it's possible to make other people sick so we have to be extra careful when we take walks and have to wash our hands really well. She's talked to enough friends that she understands this is everyone's reality and often asks for confirmation that things are closed (is the beach closed too? Are all of the restaurants?). We were just saying germs, but everyone seems to be using the word virus, so we switched to that. I think it helps differentiate normal germs from THIS one that is dangerous for people right now.
