IntroductionAs many of us sit at home, doing our best to isolate ourselves and our family from the COVID‑19 virus, we find ourselves comparing our current schedules and behaviors to days when things were “normal,” just a few weeks ago. For most of us, we were forced to adapt to new schedules and new routines almost overnight. Parents are suddenly working from home, most classroom instruction is now taking place online, and trips to the grocery store are suddenly creating unexpected feelings of anxiety. With all of these changes, of course, come new questions and a new perspective of the world around us.

In an effort to help children process all of the recent changes and uncertainty, we have created a unique journal as a place for them to record their thoughts and ideas during this time. Hopefully this will provide your child with a safe place to share their emotions and express how they are dealing with many of the adjustments to their daily lives. We recommend you use this journal and the included prompts as a way to encourage your child to write every day and as a way to stay in touch with how they are coping with this temporary detour.
