How to Cope at Home With Kids During the Coronavirus Outbreak (Consumer Reports)

In Facebook groups, text chains, and blogs, moms and dads are debating whether kids should have play dates or visit grandparents, have a babysitter, engage in street play, go to the playground. We are collectively wondering about what to do if someone in the house gets a fever, the best ways to minimize germ transmission, and how we’re all supposed to stay safe and sane.

Happy 2020 everyone! We are excited to see that the UK is taking teaching kids mindfulness techniques very seriously. Hats off to the social and business leaders in England who have pushed this remarkable initiative forward; because of their efforts, the next generation of UK kids will be calmer, more able to deal with adversity/difficult emotions and more self-aware. Positioning kids for boosted EQ means the whole society reaps the rewards (with less antisocial behaviour, lower costs for treating mental health, lower crime and increased productivity). How great is this? Let’s allow this to be a template for all countries, so that kids can be empowered in this fundamental way.
