TORONTO -- Returning to school can be stressful at the best of times for children, let alone during a pandemic.
“The very younger ones, when they're anxious or stressed, they might not have the verbal ability to describe how they're feeling or their concerns, but they express it through things like tummy aches or headaches or you might see an increase in irritability or tantrums,” Taylor told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview.
Meanwhile, Taylor said older children are more likely to verbally express how they might be feeling, though they can also appear preoccupied or have a decrease in appetite.Taylor said if a parent notices something might be off with their child, they should make sure the communication lines are open. “A lot of times kids just want to be heard and be comforted,” she told CTV’s Your Morning on Wednesday. “You may not have all the answers at the time, but you can work through it together. As long as you’re there to support them through it, that should be helpful for your children.”
“Be mindful of your own feelings first and foremost, because kids can pick up on that as well,” she said.Taylor said it’s important children understand that the adjustments in day-to-day classroom life that may be making them anxious will become routine in a matter of weeks. “Children who are very anxious about the whole issue of getting back to school, it might help in the first little while to drive them to school,” he said. “You might feel a little nervous in the first couple of weeks, but you'll notice things will settle down.
Don’t let them watch the fear mongering Canadian News ? Explain to them that even if they got covid they will be fine. That school and the media are now a socialist brain washing system and to think for themselves?
Just tell them the truth... COVID is a political hoax... problem solved
Your twisted FAKE NEWS and non-stop FEAR reporting hasn't helped anyone.
If my kid is scared should I make them wear a mask?
“Get the flu-shot”.... lmao. There’s literally no need this year... there’s mask, physical distancing.... risk for flu is likely even lower than covid.
No wonder: they're being muzzled and put behind plexiglass like actual prisoners and forced to follow stupid rules that don't make any sense by scary adults in masks, which movies and TV have always shown them are for BAD GUYS. This is child abuse.
Thank you fordnation for scaring the living shit out of everyone for a cold virus, then flipping the script and blaming the teachers for the fear mongering. I wonder why parents and kids have anxiety?
Hmmm...many of those symptoms listed would make them fail covid screening!!!!
But Ford will be closing schools 'in a blink' eh? And a number of professionals covidiots going put of their way to keep kids locked out of school? “Children have been in lockdown for six months now without access to trusted adults outside of their home.'
Maybe you could get Lisa Laflamme (aka Cruella de Vil) to do a little pep talk for the kids.
A solution to *decreasing* a child's anxiety is to jab them with a needle. Seems about right.
Thanks for more fear mongering YOU HAVE REACHED A NEW LOW WHICH WAS KIND OF HARD TO BEAT WHEN YOU RAN THAT FAKE STUDY THAT SOCIOPATHS DON'T WEAR MASKS. BUT HEY,,,,YOU DID IT! CONGRATULATIONS CTV !
It,s over. Your going to get sick and die.
Being segregated and forced to wear a muzzle all day is abuse.
End the mask and social distancing for children. Child abuse. Sweden, Holland, Czech, and Wuhan.
