Early childhood education during a pandemic is challenging.
Supportive relationships and social distancing are both critical priorities that will ensure the health and wellbeing of the child during the coronavirus pandemic.

Physical separation is necessary to slow down the progression of the pandemic, whereas responsive social interaction is essential for strengthening resilience.

This book has been written to help you explain to a young child what social distancing means. The ‘serve and return’ interactions that you have with your child, whilst talking about the children in the photographs, will help protect your child’s developing brain and build resilience.

Maintaining social connections through the use of stories can help parents and care-givers to build a responsive relationship with a child. Stories about familiar children doing ordinary activities, will provide a vital link between children and their friends which will help to reduce the effects of ongoing stress.
