Here’s how parents can help. Children whose lives were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic are beginning to feel a strain on their mental health, new research suggests. "...because of a combination of social isolation, economic recession, and a public-health crisis." “Kids may be reflecting some of the stress from their parents. If they’re more irritable, it’s possible that their parents are also more irritable. And kids are hearing death and illness being talked about in a way that isn’t normal in conversations, on the news.” Their suggestions include: | |||
** Fill children's daily routine with positive events | |||
** Talk with and listen to children about their concerns. | |||
** Regular mealtimes and bedtimes, etc. | |||
** <b>"create an environment in which kids can thrive." </b> (Isn't that what scouting presents?) | |||
