How to tell children about the epidemic situation and explain it truly and concisely.

1, children of different ages need to give different answers according to their own understanding and acceptance, but in principle they should be true and concise. For example, for younger children, you can choose to give away picture books or stories. You can tell your child briefly like this:

There are many lovely animals living with us, such as birds flying in the sky, small fish swimming in the water, cats and dogs running on the ground, and some small things that we can't see. We call it a virus. There is a virus that looks like a crown. Its name is novel coronavirus. Viruses like to stay on bats, and sometimes they stay on civets and bamboo rats. But these small animals are not afraid of it, because small viruses can't hurt them. But some people catch bats, civets and bamboo rats as delicacies. This little virus can be happy because it can enter people's bodies and make them sick.

3. So, the little virus happily greeted many companions to come over. They are hidden in snot and saliva, lying on tables and chairs touched by many people and sticking to their hands. When we sneeze, cough, eat or touch others without washing our hands, they will run into people's bodies and make noise.

If you wash your hands frequently, don't be picky about food, exercise and sleep regularly every day, your health will be good and the virus won't hurt you. Now many angels and sisters are helping us get rid of them. When they are driven away, we can go out to play!

There are some picture books about the epidemic situation on the internet now. Parents can download it and tell it to their children.
