National Safety Month

As we move about outdoors, be safe and wear your face mask along with social distancing.  THANK!


TALKING TO BOYS AND GIRLS?

Don't ignore your fears or doubts. Use language adapted to the child's age and knowledge. Understand that if we do not explain it well, they will resort to fanciful arguments to compensate for the lack of information. 

Talk frequently about it, but without saturating them with too much information. Standardize talking about it without it being a taboo subject. Promote meeting spaces for communication with them where they feel safe and calm to express, listen and ask Avoid referring to people who are very ill or have died Be honest and avoid long explanations, answering your questions or fears that they may have. 

Transmit that they can express their doubts and trust us. If we do not have all the answers, to be honest, maybe we can look for answers together. Use simple drawings or graphic representations to explain how the contagion occurs (for example, that he was born in China, that he likes to travel a lot, and that at the moment, Italy and Spain are two countries that he likes a lot ...)




SUPER-POWER GIVE TO THEM - TO PROTECT THEMSELVES

It is a good time to transmit hygiene measures for life! We must follow the recommendations and prevention measures determined by the health authorities and trust them because they know what they must do, since they have the knowledge and the means. 

Wash your hands with soap “while we make up a song about the virus, we say a multiplication table or we count from 20 to 0 backwards, rubbing vigorously, on the surface and sides, when coughing or sneezing, covering our mouth and nose with the elbow bent or with a disposable handkerchief that we throw away "as if it were a karate magic key to protect ourselves against bad viruses", avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth "like a game in which you lose a whoever does it ”, avoid physical contact with other children or other people, even if I feel like playing or touching the other person. 

This will only be for a short time, we will be able to hug or touch my friends again very soon, knowing that you can count on an adult if you  are not physically well or there is something that worries you, show care in how we relate to other people, avoiding rejection or discrimination behaviors.

Our fear can cause us to behave inappropriately, rejecting or discriminating against certain people, and although we may not realize it, they are watching us and learning, we are setting an example of preventive hygiene and health measures and calm.




PARENTS

Follow the above recommendations, and also: the most important thing is to stay calm, and know how to manage stress, monitor our conversations with other adults, or other adults, boys and girls listen to us and perceive our fear, not be alarmed or stimulated to fear. 

To be realistic, many people are healing, protecting them from all the information that they can cause discomfort and concern because they may not interpret the information well.

Keep in mind that the information on SOME social networks is usually superficial, incomplete, or erroneous.
