Reputable resources to help you know what to say to your kids during this worldwide crisis

Here are some reputable resources on how to help your kids cope with what’s happening.
Also, check out my post – 5 Things to Discuss with Your Kids About Current Events, which goes a little more in-depth on the faith and motherhood side of things.
I also provide a Printable Kids Journal to help children better express their feelings.
