I have been spending a lot of time wondering how children and teens are doing during #COVID19. The voices of children have not been front and center in recent discussions. My most ominous concerns are for those families who have children with special healthcare needs. Does the country realize how many children receive services at school for Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and of course nursing care? I am also worried about our youngest children who cannot grasp the complexity of the pandemic, but see the fear and concern from their parents and caregivers.
In my search for something positive to share with kids and families I found these wonderful graphics from Operation Safe. Thank you Jonathan Wilson, for this gift for kids across the globe.
