Supporting Children during this time:

Experts agree that setting and sticking to a regular schedule is key even when we re home all day.  Kids should get up, eat, and go to bed at their normal times.  Consistancy and structure are calming during stressful times.  It's important that especially younger ones know what's going to happen and when.  

Also make sure to build in activities during your day, take a walk, ride your bike or just dance.  Exercise is a great way to help kids burn off energy.

And finally remember to KEEP IT POSITIVE!
