What parents should know about the coronavirus

As the coronavirus continues to spread, parents are scrambling to help their kids understand the severity of the disease. Personally, we’ve reiterated the importance of handwashing (and singing “happy birthday” twice as they do) and keeping their hands to themselves and out of their mouths.
