We wanted to share with you a free resource from Scholastic & the Yale Child Study Center to help navigate and cope during this time. The letter below gives more information about the development of this resource. More information and a downloadable workbook can be found here.
This is a stressful time for families and children. We want to give comforting answers, yet we are looking for comfort ourselves. At a time when we all need hugs and closeness, we are asked to maintain distance.
We’ve designed this workbook to be used flexibly so you can bridge the gaps created by our changing circumstances. Share it with your child for activities and as a conversational tool. You can also encourage an older child to work with a younger sibling, or go to a calming corner and reflect independently.
We believe that your family will form bonds through these shared activities that lead to greater resilience. And we hope that the emotional resources your children develop will serve them well in this time of crisis, and in months and years ahead.
It is our deepest hope that you find strength together. Please reach out to us with questions, and let us know how you are doing.
Our very best,
