Covid 19 and Kids Is it gone or just our new normal?

Children have different reactions depending on how adults react. Fear in children can be exhibited as hyperactivity, anxiety, silliness, whining, and possibly aggression. Navigating through fear and uncertainty can be daunting for an adult.
How do we help our children in this trying time of uncertainty? How we react to the situation will help our children overcome anxiety and fear. Are we running to the grocery store and grabbing all the items we can for fear of not having enough, or are we calmly relying on our common sense? We listen to the media, social media, and anxiety. It is normal to look for items we need; safety needs are a basic instinct, and safety needs rule our lower brain functioning, so we will run- flight, fight, or freeze. At this time, people are running, fighting for essential food items and health needs like toilet paper. However, what are we telling our children?
What higher power do you believe in? During a crisis or nationwide fear, people may pull toward their higher power for support, guidance, and strength. What are we showing our children in a time like this? Where do we gain strength and comfort? What type of behaviors are we exhibiting? What are we expecting out of them?
Is it gone, or are we just learning to live with a new normal? What will it look like for our kiddos in the next 10 years? Also, what do the injections, infusions, and lack of them show us?
All good questions for thought and reflection.
