Grace Helps Kids and Parents Understand COVID-19

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - EntSun -- It's not only parents and caregivers who are feeling stressed. Kids are, too. Even the youngest children understand that something isn't right, and they are looking for answers. Like us, they feel that much about life has been "canceled" and they are mourning the loss of their familiar and much-loved routines, like sports classes, art lessons, playdates, and visits with grandparents. They miss school, teachers, and friends. And like us, they don't know how much longer this "new normal" will last. According to Psychology Today, they express these feelings in many ways, from anger to grief to aggression and regressions. They are also really susceptible to absorbing their parents' stress and feelings during this time.
