Parents have a responsibility to help children make sense of the consequences of Covid-19. Food For Mzansi journalist Sinesipho Tom chats to pediatric psychologist Dr Dane Channon about helping children organise all their thoughts and feelings during the pandemic.

Also listen to Food For Mzansi’s two-part Covid-19 children’s story called “Thandi and Captain Stay Safe”. Captain Stay Safe is a cartoon character especially developed for Food For Mzansi by an 11-year-old reader, Jan Louwrens. Remember, too, that our cartoon series on www.FoodForMzansi.co.za/covid19 is available in 11 different South African languages to educate children about the novel coronavirus.
