Probably every parent of a child knows the feeling: Just before a test, probably when it comes to an invasive test like the corona test, the children begin to develop not simple signs of nervousness.
At best it ends in apprehension, at worst in uncontrollable crying and hysteria.
Even we, the parents, do not always know how to prepare them optimally for a test, which is not very pleasant.
The Home Front Command recruited Kofiko for the position of National Explainer together with the Command's Children's Explainer, Lt. Col. Tali Versano-Eisman, and the two explain in a new video to children and parents how to pass the corona test quickly, easily, and even fun. Do you have children? You should not miss it.

So how do we help our children pass the corona test?
The recommendations of Tali Versano Eisman
1. Early call: For children over the age of 4 it is important to make an early call.
At this age they are old enough to realize that the test is meant to keep us going.
It is important to emphasize to the children that the test does not take more than five seconds and that whoever does the test arrives dressed in a protected and very special way to protect us.
2. Set an example: It is best for parents to do the test first to set an example for the children.
Thus the children will realize for themselves that this is a quick and painless test and that the man in the strange outfit wants to help us.
3. Corona sitting while sitting: When the children do the test it is recommended that they sit on the parent’s legs while the parent hugs the child.
It is possible and easy to get old in the drive-in areas when sitting in the car and if you arrive at the pedestrian area you can ask and sit on a chair.
Reward after the test and also before it will not hurt to reward the child with something small and delicious such as crembo or candy.
It is not a shame to also guarantee this in advance to a particularly reluctant child.
