As schools close and workplaces go remote to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, adults are quickly adapting to keep children healthy and occupied. Many are wondering how to keep their children learning and building appropriate social connections during this time of physical distancing. This webinar, led by Dr. Rachel Busman and Dr. Stephanie Lee from the Child Mind Institute, provides information about social development in children ages 0-5 and strategies to address socialization, social development, and isolation during coronavirus. They also offer recommendations for how to discuss the coronavirus - and related anxiety - with kids and families.
