Question

conversation between father and son on covid pandemic and reopening of schools​

Answer 1

Answer:

Children are very diverse and their reactions to extraordinary situations like the coronavirus pandemic will differ accordingly. Caregivers may observe a range of responses such as increased curiosity, fearfulness, or a lack of care, which are all normal responses.

“Children are very observant and may take cues of how to respond to stressful situations by modeling their caregiver’s responses. A child’s personality may also influence their response; some children are inherently more anxious compared to their peers. Children who have experienced a recent loss or traumatic event are especially vulnerable to prolonged stress and exposure to graphic details regarding a crisis, so it is important to monitor them more closely.  

If anxious, irritable, depressed or aggressive behaviors become more pronounced than what is typical for your child and is significantly affecting their daily functioning, consider working with a licensed and qualified mental health professional. Several mental health professionals are resorting to telepsychology services as a health accommodation during these times.  

With all of these points in mind, it is best to engage in prevention measures to reduce anxiety. Reduce exposure to media reports and conversations between adults regarding the virus. Ways caregivers can help to minimize anxiety include:

 Maintain structure and a routine at home, especially for children who are no longer going to a physical school setting.

 Allow time for play. Have children engage in activities they enjoy, especially physical activities.

 Give children a sense of control. Explain that good hygiene practices, such as handwashing, helps to stop the spread of the virus.

Be a good role model. Acknowledge your own anxiety and find a place to calm before interacting with others, model good hygiene practices, and allow opportunities to converse with your child as needed.”
