Explaining Covid-19 to your small child

Have you concerns about how to explain to your young children the issues of coronavirus and its effects on family and community, and on children themselves?

This story booklet My Hero is You from the UN's Inter-Agency Standing Committee Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings might be of help.

Designed to be read by a parent, caregiver or teacher alongside a child or a small group of children, the story was shaped by more than 1,700 children, parents, caregivers and teachers from around the world who took the time to share how they are coping with the impact of Covid-19.

Beat the Virus: Stay At Home.
