There will be many families like my sons who are having to cope with other problems alongside this current health crisis. It may be illness, parental discord, recent family bereavement
My own grandchild has started to have real trouble sleeping and has now refuse to eat. Now I’m not worried about her physical health she will eat when she’s ready but I am concerned that her emotional mental health is suffering and the long term consequences that will bring.
She is obviously missing the wonderful support she normally gets from school and extended family.
There must be many many children who may have long term emotional/anxiety/ mental health problems because of this current situation.
On a personal level I just want to wrap my arms around her and I know she needs that comfort too.
