Planning Winter Breaks and the Holidays During COVID
Show: Healthy Children
The number of children who have tested positive for COVID-19 is expected to surpass 1,000,000 very soon. Which is scary for parents especially as we plan for school breaks and winter holidays.
Dr. Alison Tothy joins us today for this conversation, she is a pediatric emergency medicine physician and a spokesperson for the AAP.
We'll hear about how to handle kids coming home from college, if and how you should gather for holidays, how to keep kids occupied through lockdowns and school breaks, incentives, and how to tell when your kids are having an especially difficult time with all of this change.
