Ways Kids Can Feel Positive During a Crisis

~ Hello! ~ Leave a comment

One of the best ways to maintain a healthy state of mind during a crisis like Covid-19 is to feel like you are doing something about it. Being proactive and positive during scary times encourages both others and ourselves. One fun and easy way for children to do that is to encourage others. Here are some ideas for kids of all ages to do just that.

  • Donate to your local food bank for people who can’t afford to shop right now.
  • Have a window visit with a senior.
  • Make a sign or picture and hang it in the window.
  • Paint a rock and leave it where people walk.
  • Use chalk to leave a message in your driveway and on sidewalks.
  • Turn on your Christmas lights.
