Give Yourself and Your Children Time to Grieve: Transitioning to the "new normal" after COVID-19

While leaders discuss the timing and phases of ending the quarantine shutdown, Americans are impatiently waiting to be released from their homes and get on with their lives. However,
psychological experts are warning that if this is done too quickly, a societal grief could be 
triggered.  They believe we have all experienced loss and we must allow ourselves time to 
grieve.  We have indeed lost our freedom and our normal way of living, but many people 
have lost loved ones, and millions have lost their jobs because of COVID-19.   
As parents, guardians, and educators we must remember children follow our lead.  Therefore, we are pleased to share emotional and social learning resources to support you and the children within your care.

Parents, guardians, educators: We all know that we have big emotions sometimes, and the same is also true for children. We may not see it come out in the way we understand emotions, but they are also experiencing emotions just like us, especially during this time. They may be feeling alone, scared, angry, sad, or worried just like adults are right now. 
How can we help? Here are a few resources to understand and help kids manage their emotions during this time.
