Parents can even send in their and their children’s questions, along with their full names and phone numbers via a form on the CNN website.

It’s important for kids to understand the latest issues surrounding the coronavirus, so be sure to tune in. There is also the Sesame Workshop’s Caring for Each Other initiative, which provides free resources for parents and families during this crisis.
