About

This toolkit helps parents support children and teens during COVID-19. It describes common emotional responses like worry, sadness, and changes in behavior. The toolbox offers tips for different age groups: toddlers, school-age kids, and teens. It includes ways to help them heal and build resilience through routines, honest communication, and coping skills. Parents are encouraged to take care of themselves too. The toolbox also provides resources for families with children on the autism spectrum and addresses the impact of disasters on education while offering self-care advice for caregivers.
