THE CLOSING of schools for them is a bit of a party, but underneath you realize that something is going on strange, and so, according to the age, character and also of the attitudes of family, in children there may also be a bit of anxiety and sometimes fear in the face of something that they do not know and who sees even the adults helpless. For this reason, the pediatricians of the family have created a comic that could speak of this virus to the children using language that is familiar to them. So My, Mea & Meo plot explanations and tips to follow, with attractive graphics and also reassuring. The comic is a poster that you can see in more than 7 studies of the pediatricians in Italy.
The role of children for the prevention of infection
In the flow of news on the epidemic, to which they are inevitably exposed, even the little ones, there is the risk that they are overwhelmed by the concern and fail to direct their attention on the few important news to them, also to help prevent the spread of the virus and the infection. From here was born the idea of pediatricians and family: “In our more than 7,000 medical studies, ” says Paolo Biasci, president of the Italian Federation of Pediatricians – there will be a poster aimed directly at children: a comic-strip and 7 rules on correct life-styles and hygiene help to reduce the risk of contracting the virus, written in simple and clear language”.
Tell the truth by transmitting confidence
“The children are watching us, ” explains Mattia Doria, the national secretary of the Scientific and Ethical of the Fimp – and we have to find the words to explain to them what is going on, with sincerity and clarity, transmitting at the same time, confidence in the future. We remain surprised at the serious reaction and composed of smaller, we are confident that they will do their part, if properly informed on the role they might play in containing the contagion of friends, parents and grandparents.”

For this between the seven rules listed by pediatricians, the number three is the most comprehensive because it explains in detail how to wash your hands well giving practical tips on child-friendly. An example of that? Soaping up and rubbing his hands together for the time that you need to sing two times the song ‘happy birthday to you…’. “Our rules – continues Doria – are simple: use only the paper towels, put them in the backpack before going to school and throw them in a bucket after use; do not touch the nose and eyes; coughing and sneezing into your arm; not to share school materials and snacks; ask mom and dad to bring their children each day to play in the open air and is aerated, often the rooms of the house”. “We are confident we can count on the collaboration of children – concludes the president Biasci -.
