of the Lord to his glorious resurrection from </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">the dead. During Holy Week the
people of God take time to reflect and pray about what Jesus has done for us in
his love. We become more aware of the many ways in which we continue to live
and experience the dying and rising of Jesus in our daily lives.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: normal;">So... what are the parts of Holy Week?</span></p>

Sunday of Advent. Advent is our time of
preparation and time of waiting for the coming of Jesus. It is a rich and
powerful season of the Church year. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-size: large; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="163" data-original-width="310" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin1CFH4qdSRyQbjfYnejrZMjzz2BvejfavVP7MxBylzv-Us5eWKu-rS5zGjlCSXoV_8nTg3pB_xYpvgpxLI9jkFijNtMXdMwupjzpub_EdrhWUJ9OWc6fD9uWZlDw0ianzV8OAoUVdom4x/w415-h218/image.png" width="415" /></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We
often miss Advent's power because these December weeks are full of secular
Christmas parties and preparations for Christmas. Each year, the busyness of
this season serves to distract us from having an Advent season that truly
prepares us for the celebration of Christmas, with all its meaning. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We
must see through the eyes of Faith when we look at our Advent preparations for
Christmas rather than the screen of Society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The computer screen, the phone screen, the tv screen or the movie
screen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

eyes of Faith, we see the birth of the Christ-child, Emmanuel, Prince of Peace.
We see those in need, the homeless and the hungry. The screens only block our view of the truth
and keep us separated from what is real. During this Advent Season make special
effort to put down, turn off or close out the screen when you are able and
connect with family and the Christ child.</span><o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Let

First Nations were the original occupants of this land we call Ontario. The British Crown (government) and First Nations negotiated and signed treaties with the intent of delivering mutual benefits. First Nations signed as independent, self-governing nations. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> Ontario is covered by 46 treaties and other agreements.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A Year of Prayer</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A year ago at the Mass of Chrism, Bishop Fabbro announced that beginning on Pentecost Sunday, 9 June 2019, and lasting
until the next Pentecost Sunday, 31 May 2020, we would observe a special Year of Prayer for the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit on our diocese as we seek to be “a mission-oriented Church that forms disciples of Jesus”. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On the day of Pentecost, the disciples were all together “in one place”. We cannot be together physically
during the pandemic, but we can be united spiritually during these days which are meant to be an intense
preparation for the Great Feast of Pentecost. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bishop Fabbro is asking that we mark these days, which will bring to a
conclusion our Year of Prayer, by a novena to the Holy Spirit. The novena will begin on Friday, 22 May, and
continue until Saturday, 30 May, the Vigil of Pentecost. His hope is that all the faithful of our diocese, all our parishes and our families will unite in prayer each day of
the novena, and that all of us will include in the different prayers we use, a daily recitation of the common
prayer for the Year of Prayer (below).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">joy is constantly born anew.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">May we seek opportunities for reconciliation,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">and with big hearts serve those in need;</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">for in serving them, we know we are serving your Son.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">With the help of the Holy Spirit,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">may we commit ourselves</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">to loving you and doing your will.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We make this prayer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">through Christ our Lord. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Amen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A Reflection on Mary, </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mother of God and Mother of All of Us</span></h2>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://media.beliefnet.com/~/media/photos-with-attribution/faith/misc/marymotherofjesus1.jpg?as=1&extension=webp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="6 Fascinating Facts about Mary, Mother of Jesus - Beliefnet" border="0" height="240" src="https://media.beliefnet.com/~/media/photos-with-attribution/faith/misc/marymotherofjesus1.jpg?as=1&extension=webp" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">During these unprecedented times in our world, there are so many hidden heroes who are quietly working behind the scenes and literally saving the lives of strangers. These “front line” workers have been called to … as St. Teresa of Calcutta says “do small things with great love.” Our world has become very aware of the value of these individuals and the work they accomplish each and every day. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our faith also has a person who shares in the similar qualities of our front line workers. This person is our Blessed Mother Mary. We are invited to think about Mary’s life, as it was during her time on Earth. A young girl who was given the task of bringing new life into the world and a life that would change the world. Her “YES” to the plan God presented to her not only changed her life, but changed the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Imagine this young girl, unaware of how God’s plan would be fulfilled. Imagine her fear of the unknown, her own doubts about her ability to succeed and raise her son to be the person God called him to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">She had to trust in the plan God had for her and she promised to fulfill that plan to its completion. Day after day, our front line workers face the same uncertainty. These men and women have to trust in their own skills that God gave them and, have faith and hope in their own actions while they struggle to save lives. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.holyspiritcathparish.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Mary.Mother.of_.God_.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of GodHoly Spirit Catholic ..." border="0" height="400" src="https://www.holyspiritcathparish.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Mary.Mother.of_.God_.png" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We also have a plan. We are called to trust in our own abilities to succeed at what we have been asked to do. Many of us are experiencing anxiety, depression and frustration. We long for days to be together again. Like Mary, we are people who have been called to change our world for the better. Our actions today are altering the course of human history and years from now, people will look at us to see how we coped with the reality of our human existence. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This week, we can reflect on Mary’s life and the lives of our front line workers. These are people of courage who bring hope. These are people of faith who shine light into the darkness. During Education Week, we looked at “igniting hope” in our world. This week, may we challenge one another to keep the flame of hope alive in our hearts, minds, homes and communities. </span></div>

This is a time in history that we will all remember. This pandemic has affected all of us in our own ways and it is through this tough time that we are being challenged to improve.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I can’t quite pinpoint the hardest part of this pandemic. Obviously not getting to see my friends is a struggle but I would rather do my part now so that hopefully this can reduce the length of the restrictions we are currently under. School has definitely taken a turn however I don’t mind online classes so far. Personally my biggest struggle is not being able to visit my family who live out-of-town. My grandparents require more help as they are getting older and I worry for them. Being so far and unable to run errands or do simple chores for them isn’t easy. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Even through these tough times I am still working part-time which is both a blessing and a curse. I’m happy to do my part to serve the community and it helps to get out of the house. However putting myself at risk by interacting with so many people seems to go against all the other steps I have been taking to stay safe. Customers also tend to be more intolerant which adds to unneeded stress and frustration. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Throughout this unprecedented period, I have found myself turning to God more than usual. My family and I usually go to church every Sunday. With churches being closed we “go to” church via live stream. It’s definitely a different feeling being just the four of us rather than a whole faith community but it means a lot to still be able to hear the sermon and nurture my faith. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With so much darkness in our world right now I have found myself more grateful for the little things. I don’t want to say that God is trying to punish us but I think that he is trying to readjust our thinking to make us more grateful. We took advantage of being able to go places and to see our families and friends but when everything is over, I hope that people will be more appreciative. God gave us one life and it is our job to make the most of it.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s quite simple to be lazy while being stuck at home. Having extra free time has led me to do more of the things I enjoy but didn’t make time for previously. This is a unique opportunity we are being given and should do those things we “never have time for”.</span></span></div>

Together we will get through this. And as a great poet once said “You can’t have a rainbow without the rain.”</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

<b id="docs-internal-guid-e228aa9f-7fff-eadf-333a-3d0bac7520b3" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I first walked through the doors of Saint Anne’s in September, I never imagined that my second semester would be spent mainly inside my house. Most grade nines spend their whole year learning at school, but that all changed when Covid-19 broke out; the first world pandemic since the 1918 Influenza outbreak. From my perspective it seemed like events kept getting worse and worse gradually. By March 14, it seemed like someone had pressed pause on the world. Sporting events were postponed, churches and schools were closed, and all school trips were canceled.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This was extremely shocking news for me, as Saint Anne’s band trip to New York City was planned for April 22-25. I had been looking forward to this trip ever since it was announced in September. I knew the trip would have been an amazing experience, as I had attended the 2019 Nashville/Memphis band trip, which was a blast. New York would have been an awesome trip, but I’m sure many others can agree with me that it’s one of the last places we want to be right now.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Though these are very uncertain times, we can still be optimistic and look forward to doing the things we love. I am most looking forward to seeing my friends and family, as well as continuing to play music with all of my friends in the band. I am also eager to start learning in person with my teachers and classmates, since Google Classroom isn’t my ideal choice of education.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>

Thankfully, there is a way to watch mass on YouTube livestreams. My family and I tune into a stream every Sunday, and I can say it feels good to still have faith and a connection with God amidst all of this.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>

I would like to thank all of the healthcare workers on the front lines who are risking their lives to save others. I know that we are all in this together, and that we will overcome this virus very soon. </span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2020 will forever be known as the year our world stopped turning. None of us have ever experienced anything like this crisis in our entire lives. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For many, what started out as a school closure announcement on a Thursday evening before march break, has exploded into one of the greatest challenges our society has faced in decades. Life as we know it has been put on hold. The most vulnerable members of our community are being affected the most. Our economy is treading on thin ice. These are definitely not normal times. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">However, this crisis has brought the best out of so many of us. As I go for my walks everyday, kids in my neighbourhood are drawing “Thank you” messages for our frontline workers in their driveways with chalk. People around the world have been coming outside at 7pm every night to give a thunderous applause to our healthcare superheroes. Neighbours are checking up on one another to stay safe. Volunteers are stepping up to help keep our communities fed. Friends and family have helped in keeping our small businesses afloat. Nurses and Doctors have provided patients of all stripes with compassionate care even in these emotionally straining times. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">These actions are what truly represents our God given human spirit. All of these wonderful things have been happening because of the unique spirits that God has instilled within all of us. I have never believed that good things happen out of thin air. There is always a spiritual presence that lies within our decisions to do good in our everyday lives. Churches being closed have cut many people off from traditional ways of being with God. However, I’ve always believed that God lies in places beyond the church. His spirit is what is causing us to come together even when we’re apart. Today, many more people are living in the image that Christ always wanted for all of us. He wanted a world where people looked out for one another and that’s exactly what we’re seeing today, you just have to look out your window. </span></span></div>

This pandemic has exposed us to our collective blindness of what we used to take for granted. The trip to the grocery store, the visit with Grandma, the night at the movie theatre, seeing friends and extended family or even being able to go to school are all things we never thought would vanish. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>

I mourn with all the families who have lost loved ones to this deadly virus and won’t have the opportunity to do that. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

This is a major storm but God would never put is through something that us and him could not weather together. A very wise person once told me that life wasn’t worth living if there wasn’t hope. The fantastic news is that there is so much hope every day even when it may not seem like it. </span></span></div>

I promise, we will get through this... together.</span></span></div>

Coping with the uncertainty around COVID-19 is challenging for most adults, and kids may be having an even tougher time during the pandemic. Social isolation, being off school for an extended period of time, and uncertainty about what all this means for their friends and family are just a few of the concerns young children and teens may have at this time. Here are some things that may help. It is important that if you are co-parenting that both parents are on board on what you are doing and saying to your child, as different messages will confuse and possibly make your child more worried.</div>

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 25px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It will be challenging to address your child’s anxiety if your own fears feel out of control. It’s easy for kids to forget that you may have fears about your own parents, your finances if you aren’t able to work during this time, or just the stress of parenting 24/7 as kids are asked to stay home. Check in with friends, family, or a mental health professional during this time to ensure you’re coping well. Your health matters too!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Despite the constant news feed and information overload, your child may be confused or unsure of what is really going on. Ask them what they know, what their worries are, and what they want to know. Don’t be afraid to talk about it, and make sure you address any myths they may have about the illness. Children may be afraid of seeing their peers again after the social isolation phase ends, so let them know you’re looking out for them and things will inevitably return to normal. It’s OK to provide a little reassurance during this time. Don’t be afraid to tell your child you’re anxious too – normalize their worries by helping them know it’s OK and healthy to worry a little (it keeps us safe!) but that we never want to let worry take over and become unhelpful.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;"> </span></span></div>

So far we know that to help beat it we can wash our hands after we blow our noses, cough, sneeze, go to the bathroom, before we eat, or when we come home from being outside, But we need to wash them for at least twenty seconds so let’s come up with a Hand-Washing Song together (easy to find kid versions on YouTube/Google) to help us learn how long we should be washing for.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are working in a profession/job where you have direct contact with individuals affected by COVID19, your child may have specific questions and concerns about your safety. Being open, honest, and direct can be effective:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I know you’re worried about me getting sick and that’s OK. I agree it can feel scary sometimes for me too but I want you to know I am taking extra special care to stay safe and keep all of us safe too. I want you to remember that even if I do get sick this flu is mostly dangerous for older adults and people whose bodies have a tough time fighting off flus and other germs so I won’t feel good but I’ll be OK.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;"> </span>“This is a serious flu that makes some people very sick.

<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 25px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even if we’re not sick and your friends don’t feel sick it’s important that we work together to stop this flu from spreading, and that means we are not able to see our friends right now. But once this virus/flu goes away, then we can all hang out again.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To encourage your child to wash their hands, parents can make a game of it</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 25px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;"> </span>“I know I am reminding you to wash your hands a lot. Let’s make this into a game. If I hear you singing our “Handwashing Song” that we’ve been practicing each time you wash your hands, we’ll put a sticker on your chart. When you have x number of stickers you can choose a prize. Remember you only earn the sticker if you wash your hands when you need to, no stickers for extra washing when we don’t need to wash. Can you remind me again when are the right times to wash our hands?”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 25px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Another thing that doctors are saying is that we need to be further away from people then we are used to, that’s why we haven’t been able to see Grandma and Grandpa as much. So instead, let’s video call them so we can see how they are doing.” – Following the videochat, you can say “See? Was Mr. Worry right or wrong – grandma/grandpa/etc are just fine! That Mr. Worry just LOVES to make us worry more than we need to doesn’t he!?”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 25px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For younger children you can show them how much space we need between people by having them extend out their arms and swing around to make their “space bubble.”<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;"> </span> And use words like “Don’t be a space invader”<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 25px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Scientists still are learning more about this virus so we can find other ways to beat it, so even though I don’t have all the answers right now, Mom/Dad/caregiver will let you know when I learn more about it.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So many phrases are tossed around that are confusing – virus, “social distancing”, quarantine, contagious disease, etc. It can be easy to overestimate a child’s verbal ability, so start by explaining it in the simplest terms possible. Help put it into perspective, especially for young children. Kids may worry about their grandparents or worry about their peers during this time – if possible try to communicate with them via videoconferencing so they can talk and see with their own eyes and ears that most people are doing just fine. Anxiety makes us predict the worst and we can expose kids to the truth in times like this to see that anxiety isn’t always right.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Strategies that work for other worries and anxiety work now too. Ask your child to use their Realistic Thinking skills and generate alternatives to worried thoughts like “What else could happen instead?” or have them sort their worries into helpful worries (that help us wash our hands and stay safe) and unhelpful ones (that cause of to avoid things or just think and think with no action).

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let your child know that anxiety is OK and normal, and giving anxiety a name helps everyone see anxiety as separate from the child. Some popular names are Worry Bully, Mr. Worry or Worry Dragon, or any name that makes sense, and is not scary, to your younger child can be used.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 25px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Parents can say:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“It sounds like Mr. Worry is trying to tell you what is going to happen in the future again.” We can’t know the future but what we can do is make sure we do everything the scientists and doctors are telling us to do to keep safe, like washing our hands, staying home and trying not to touch our face.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 25px; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“It’s important for us all to remember this isn’t going to last forever and we’ll be able to see and play with friends again – we just can’t do that right now, but when the doctors say it’s safe we can do all that fun stuff again.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Let’s have a contest and see who can touch their face the least and whoever wins gets a prize. Parents will be watching to see if anyone touches their face and if I spot anyone touching their face we add one point to your score. Each day we’ll count up our points and whoever has the lowest score that day gets a small treat. Whoever has the lowest score at the end of the week gets to pick the movie we’re going to watch Friday night (or other choices like what’s for dinner that night, a favorite dessert, etc).” <span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For younger children it can help to include visuals so parents can set up a jar and every time that someone touches their face in the family (parents included) they have to put (a dime/quarter) in the jar and whoever touches their face the least wins the money in the jar at the end of the day. Buttons, marbles, poker chips, or even candies can be used to fill the jar depending on what your child enjoys.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We can’t expect children to understand or even be OK or happy with staying home and not seeing their friends. Explain to them you’re not happy either but that you’re working on this together. Take a break from the news and social media and take this time to play with your kids and help build an even better parent-child relationship during this time. With school closures, try to build in new routines and predictability to help kids adjust to the changes in their lives. Kids still need consistency, fun and attention even in the midst of all this anxiety and uncertainty.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;"> </span></span></div>
