SAVE AND SHARE YOUR STORY
Say to your child "Someday you'll tell your children about how you were nine and you can show them this journal of what it was like to shelter in place." This will give your child hope and help them realize that this historic event has a beginning and will have an end.
A journal, whether written, photos, or both will be a keepsake they can share with their kids. It doesn't have to be fancy. Scraps of paper, jots, and drawings are just fine. Photo stream on social media is another way to document and share changes, uncertainty, and hope in our daily lives.
