Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

April 1, 2020

Trying To Explain What Is Going On For Kids Under 5

*Worried mom* How do I, if at all, explain this pandemic/quarantine to my children?

My heart is breaking for them like never before.

When my 4 year old repeatedly wonders and asks why she can’t go to school, or see her her neighborhood friends, I struggle finding the right words. I feel so powerless knowing I don’t have any of the answers that both she and I are asking.

I’ve turned to kids’ authors and done some research in hopes of finding a way to explain this to my kids that they can understand.

Julia Cook is an author who writes books for children, focusing on letting them laugh while learning to solve their own problems, use better behavior, and develop healthy relationships.

Her book “The Yucky Bug” is super adorable and very relatable to the situation going on in the world. Reading this to my kids has helped me explain so much more, and I definitely recommend it.

I know all us moms are scared for our little ones, but know that you’re not alone.

We’ll get through this.

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
