Coincidently I have been working on a book for children called 'Looking after your Health' (out in May). One of our consultants is child psychologist Dr Angharad Rudkin. On the BBC News website, she offers some advice about how to talk to children and young people about Coronavirus, which parents and carers might find useful. It's important to counteract 'doom-laden social media posts and playground rumours' which can induce panic.
