5 ways parents can help children adjust to being at school after months in lockdown

Macquarie School of Education

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Website › Article

Abstract

Students are returning to their schools after months in lockdown in Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT. Many will thrive on the return to school. Others, though, may need extra practical and emotional support to adjust in a healthy way.

Some children may experience separation anxiety from their parents, for example. Others may be worried about catching COVID-19 in the playground or about connecting with their friends again.
