Advice regarding Covid 19

NAS38443

Hi I'm looking for some advice really, my son is 7 years old, been diagnosed for a number of years now. I'm looking for some advice as since this lockdown my son is refusing to leave the house as he has taken it literal that he needs to stay home to stay safe and to protect the NHS, which is all good in that he understands this (we didn't tell him about too much the first time about Covid 19 and didn't have the news on much, he has learnt about it since returning to school etc so we were able to get him to leave the house during the first lockdown). We have tried all the usual stuff that would get him out the house e.g going to feed the ducks, going up for a walk to the local castle, to which nothing has worked. Any advice would be amazing Slight smile
