How to talk to your kids about Coronavirus.

The news can be scary. Kids may be getting bad information. It's hard to know how to explain to them what's happening with all the social distancing, school closures, and extra hand washing. So how do you talk to your kids about coronavirus? Host Lindsay Aerts talks with a pediatric psychologist with Intermountain's Primary Children's Hospital about best practices. She suggests managing your own anxieties around it, giving them reassuring facts, and correcting any erroneous ones are all important steps. They also discuss what to do if YOU become sick and have to care for kids.
