Why young people may feel anxious
Children perceive risk differently and do not always know how worried they should be about events. With changes to schooling, no opportunity to spend time with friends face to face, worries about older relatives and family or friends; children look to their parents for information, reassurance and guidance. Therefore we need to be aware how our own reactions might impact on them as we help them to make sense of what is going on.
Reminders
Wash your hands regularly, if soap and water aren’t available use hand sanitiser
Stay positive
It may not always be easy but we should all try our best.
