Kimt news three's calyn thompson joins us live after speaking with a mayo clinic pediatrician about how kids can stay safe this fall.xxx amy ?

"* students at rochester public schools including hoover elementary behind me will be back in class a week from tomorrow.

There's a lot of changes students will have to adapt to... wearing masks, social distancing, maybe switching back and forth from in?

"*person to virtual learnin, the list goes on... today i spoke with a pediatrician from mayo clinic children's center.

She says parents should prepare kids for the changes.

A good way to start is simply asking them "what questions do you have?"

The most important thing parents can do is have a positive attitude.xxx whatever learning environment they're going to be participating in and also a really positive attitude about the social distancing measures that children need to take.

Because if they see you role modeling it positively, and you wearing your mask properly, and you maintaining social distance, they're going to be more likely to engage in those behaviors as well it's especially important for younger children to learn how to effectively wear and take off a mask.

It should be worn covering the mouth and nose.

It should be taken off around the ears like this, in order to not touch it and keep it clean.

Live in rochester, calyn thompson, kimt thanks calyn.

Kids should also wash their hands
