Being A Child During Corona

Media use, friends and family

Dear Parents

We are currently supporting a study undertaken by the Deutsches Jugendinstitut (German Youth Institute) in Munich (DJM) and would be grateful if you could spare 15 minutes to fill it out. Due to the spread of Covid-19, everyday life for children and family has changed radically. This study, entitled "Being A Child During Corona: Media Use, Friends & Family" aims to evaluate how children's lives have changed and how they are coping. For that, we need your help! The study is aimed at parents of children aged 3 to 15 years of age. Unfortunately, the survey is currently only available in German.

Many thanks!

Explaining the Virus To Children

We've made a short film to explain the importance of keeping your hands away from your face and not touching anything. We know this isn't always easy for young children but this video explains how easily the virus can spread.

There are so many rules for children (and adults) to follow. We feel it's important they understand why.
