Books that help children
work through modern stressors
Fun, engaging books written by an elementary school teacher & University professor
Take a moment to notice that all the characters in the book are wearing their masks correctly.- covering both the mouth and nose. If you leave your nose exposed, it’s like you are not wearing a mask at all.
​
FEEL the heat!
​
Try this hands-on experiment with your child to prove the importance of wearing a mask properly.
​
Trial 1: Wear your mask properly, covering your nose and mouth. Hold your hand very close to your face.
Take three deep breaths in and out. What do you feel?
Trial 2: Wear your mask covering only your mouth. Hold your hand very close to your face.
Take three deep breaths in and out. What do you feel?
Trial 3: Wear your mask on your chin. Hold your hand very close to your face.
Take three breaths in and out. What do you feel?
SEE the drops!
​
If you want your child to see the evidence, repeat the trials while holding a mirror in front of his/her face.
You will be able to see droplets (condensation) from your breath collect on the mirror.
