Parents of very young children (ages 2 to 7), how does one explain things that are happening due to COVID19 to the tots? ~

Hi Randy~
If you look back on history this isn't the first.
Take smallpox, for example... or these:

The explanation may be how we worked through it and how to prevent a future outburst of the same.

They are our future and I have great faith they will know how to stop this again.

Wir müssen sich drinnen für die nächste drie Wochen blieben.  That is our explanation, no questions allowed

Remember they are kids (1), they have been raised with rules regarding behavior (2), and we have a large place and both parents are home.  Really simple.

Translation:  We must for the next 3 weeks stay inside or in our green space. Unlike some of our friends we do have the use of our neighbors vineyard

2-4 don't care. 
My granddaughter (6) knows she is out of school and it is a flu that makes people sick. But they are safe.
