COVID-19 Resources for Kids

Talking to kids about COVID-19 can be challenging, but it is important to have discussions with them about why things have changed, such as doing schoolwork from home or not being able to see their friends. With the help of the Child Life team at Children’s Hospital, we have compiled some resources for parents to make these conversations a bit easier.
