A1 Walks in fresh, crisp air, youtube exercise videos, video chat tea with friends, minimize news watching #TMCTalks #susanhopkins5 #pcjurczak

A2 Check in often how they feel, if they have questions, what they like about staying home, don't like. Encourage different kinds of play, if the virus/really bad guy is in their play that is ok. Talks about positive, hopeful things too. #TMCTalks #susanhopkins5 #pcjurczak

A3 Extra cuddle and snuggle time, developmentally appropriate information about the virus, talk about can do's of safety in an easy way, have a routine as much as possible, do fun things together #TMCTalks #susanhopkins5 #pcjurczak

Wonderful message to give -I think the biggest thing to support them is to show love and presence. I’m here- you are safe #TMCTalks

A4 Sing a song/tell a story while hand washing, dance while cleaning things, pretend there is an invisible pool noodle between you and another person for distance #TMCTalks #susanhopkins5 #pcjurczak

Great idea -Create new, fun greetings that work at a distance. Any ex you can share ? #TMCTalks

A5 Staying home is how we stay safe. School will start again in a different way. You can talk/play games with your friends through video chat. Focus on what you can do #TMCTalks #susanhopkins5 #pcjurczak

A2: Many of these practices still hold true at home during these unusual times. #TMCTalks

A6 exercising online with friends, walking, gardening, video chats with family/friends, eating healthy as possible, having treats, sharing stories of hope, funny and the absurd #TMCTalks #susanhopkins5 #pcjurczak
