Hardest conversation I’ve had with my 5 year old


I am a single mother to a wonderful five year old. I am also a nurse during this pandemic (I do not consider myself first line since I work at a primary care clinic). I’ve always tried to educate my son as much as I can about the virus so he can try to under all the changes are going on. Well lately I’ve noticed more and more people are being found dead in their house from exposure. And today I had to teach my son how to call 911 if he were to ever find me not moving... it broke my heart. He got the steps down and learned his address fast and we practiced but I am just so heart broken to have to teach my son this at such a young age. Yes, I understand the risks are low, but I don’t want to chance it. I had to go to the bathroom and just cry because I just couldn’t help all these emotions I am feeling. And I’m typing to this sub because I needed to let this out. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/353mSpj
