Try these tips to calm your little ones. All of these changes affect them as well. Be careful with the phrase, “be strong” consider replacing it the phrase, “be honest.”
Don’t assume your kids are ok, have the conversation with them, then hold them tight and share that sometimes you are afraid as well. Your honesty and vulnerability with them will affirm that they are not alone, that their happy, sad, angry, and scary feelings are real and ok. It will bring them comfort, peace and will form an unbreakable bond between you both as you continue to teach them that you are their safe place!
