During this time, we are spending a lot of time sharing the space with our children. This is tough for us as adults but it is also very tough for children who have less of an understanding of what is going on in the world.

It is important to spend the time talking with your child about their feelings and what is potentially troubling them. Ask them how you can help them? Does your child have any ideas about what will make them feel better?

Sometimes creating a special space for your child help them feel that they have a place to go to. This can be somewhere in the house, where they can have a special corner with pillows or a tent, or it can even be in their closet. With the weather getting nicer, it can also be outside. It is just a place for them to be alone and have some space.

When I was little we had a deck out the back of our house and it had a small crawl space underneath. We were allowed to make a space under the deck as ours. We used old boards to make walls, wall papered the walls and even had our own little chairs in there. It was a space to go that was just ours.

Allow your child to be creative. Let them come up with ideas. Deep down, I think at this point in the month, a little spot of our own is something we could all use.
