Tips for parents + caregivers of students:
- Reassure kids that doctors + researchers are taking steps to keep them safe
- Give them some control - remind how them how they can help
- Watch for signs of anxiety, like being cranky, clingy, having trouble sleeping or being distracted
- Monitor social media use - talk about the fact that rumors are circulation + make sure children are getting information from good sources
- Be a good role model - staying calm, not stigmatizing + being supportive of community members who need help
