10-year-old makes online videos to help kids cope with COVID-19

10-year-old makes online videos to help kids cope with COVID-19Right now, many kids in India and around the world are stuck at home and the situation can feel scary and hopeless.

Ten-year-old Sydney, living in Everett city in the US was also the same. So, she decided to do something to help fellow children like her to cope with the situation.

What did Sydney do?

Sydney and her mother,  Melissa Dilling, started a Youtube series called Kids Coping with COVID-19 where they present animation videos on COVID-19 for kids.
 	The video topics include what kids can do for fun and how to arrange playdates (kids playing together) during this time when everyone is 'social distancing'.
 	They write and record these videos from their living room using Story Maker, an educational computer programme.

Sydney is also using her videos to encourage kids to find ways to also contribute to the fight against COVID-19. This includes encouraging kids to reach out to school officials to ask if they have any extra safety supplies they can send to local hospitals.

Sydney hopes that her series on YouTube can not only help kids cope with living in this situation but also give them guidelines to help make a difference too.
