1. Honestly really is the best policy. Open, age-appropriate conversations with children help prevent and decrease worry and stress.

2. When in doubt, keep things normal. Helping kids know what to expect, giving them choices, and keeping things consistent when possible all help to support their wellbeing.

3. Expressing feelings is healthy. Modeling this with your children can help them learn to cope.
