In This Together

Inspiration

I was inspired by how hard these many and sudden changes brought on by COVID-19 must feel to children. I think having more information helps children feel more in control of challenging situations and can help them better navigate stressful life situations.

What it does

An easy workbook that has ideas for parents and grown-ups to use with children to help thoughtfully explain challenges associated with COVID-19, in addition to fostering positive and supportive relationships.

How I built it

I wrote the story first and then added the prompts to help facilitators use the workbook.

Challenges I ran into

Drawing is not one of my particular strengths, so I use an adaptive strategy to make the book comprehensive.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I think this book is simple and easy for children to develop a better understanding of the new social ramifications of this pandemic.

What I learned

I learned that sometimes it's hard taking a big, complicated social problem, that I don't even fully understand, and making the information accessible and interesting for young children.

What's next for In This Together

I hope this story can be helpful for children and families during this hard time.
