Decoding Covid-19 For Kids: Celebs Tell You How To Keep It Simple And Effective

Being an adult is not easy. It is as if too many responsibilities have been thrust upon you, which you were blissfully oblivious to all along your childhood. Now that the world is struggling with a pandemic, which has caused an unprecedented health crisis for most of us, our duties as adults have increased manifold.

This is especially true if you are a parent. In addition to keeping your children safe, you have the challenging responsibility of explaining to them why they are not able to go to school or play with their buddies.

Explaining COVID-19 To Kids

Children are always a source of joy to their parents and those around them. This week we saw Megan Markle reading the Duck! Rabbit! to her little bundle of joy, Archie, and it brought a smile to all of our faces. On the occasion of mother’s day, many celebrities took to Instagram to express profound joy and happiness in being a mother. It is not just Hollywood celebrities who are showing us the way. Indian stars like Karan Johar, Kajol, Tushaar Kapoor, and Farah Khan shared with how they are tackling the difficult task of keeping their children up to speed on the problems we are facing, without causing them distress.

Kajol and her son appeared on a video urging viewers not to go out of their houses. She spoke about how we often wish we had more time to spend with our family, and that could be the silver lining of the lockdown. The video ended with her son saying dhanyawad with a cute smile.

Farah Khan’s daughter appeared on her mother’s Instagram feed to speak about an issue that isn’t discussed often. As we are concerned about our safety, some have taken the drastic measure of abandoning their pets due to fear. This is ethically wrong and unwarranted.

There is someone who can take away the #coronavirus

A post shared by Karan Johar (@karanjohar) on

Karan Johar’s son Yash had an interesting take on how Coronavirus can be eliminated. According to the toddler, Amitabh Bachchan, Big B himself can make it go away. Always a fun dad, Karan Johar played along by asking Yash if he would like his father to request Mr. Bachchan to do the needful to make things right.

A post shared by Tusshar (@tusshark89) on

Tusshar Kapoor is a single father to the adorable little munchkin, Laksshya. The actor shared a conversation between the father and the son about Coronavirus. Laksshya is impressively knowledgable about what is going on around, and in his words, “people are falling ill.”

The video ends with him saying that we can stay safe by staying at home.

Ashish Chowdhary

The television actor shared a video on Instagram recently that shows his daughters Salara and Sammah in conversation with his wife, Samita Bangargi. The children explained all about Coronavirus that everyone should know. As the little girls say in the video, “Take care of everybody and do not go outside.”

It is great to see celebrities roping in their kids in the fight against Coronavirus. In dire situations like these, it should be all hands on deck, no matter how small they are. The kids are proving to be a good influence in spreading information about Coronavirus. Although the logic is simple, sometimes we need it to be said in a different way. So, as we are told, stay home, wash your hands, and take care of yourselves.
