According to Jonathan Miller, MD (2020), the children can
still be social with the help of their parents through the
following ways:
stay connected with friends and extended famiy
members through video visits or playdates.
If your kids meet friends in person, help them plan
small outdoor get-togethers where they can keep
a safe distance from each other, such as doing
sidewalk chalk art or riding bikes.
You also can plan family activities
Coping Mechanism and

Take a walk or a hike to get out and get active
without physical contact. Try to find quiet streets
or less well-known paths for these outings

gather, especially those with things that lots of
kids use, like jungle gyms.
