Strategies

  • ​Keep calm yourself - if you’re calm your kids will feel better
  • Keep the regular routine
  • Limit TV especially for your kids
  • Focus on the helpers - every emergency has someone helping, point those people out.
  • Extra hugs - comfort and   feeling secure are important for kids during stressful times
  • Talk and ask questions - find out what your kids know and talk about it.
