How to support a child during the COVID-19 pandemic

The loneliness of homeschooling, the lack of social interaction with their peers, and even COVID-19 deaths in the home,

She says many littles ones are dealing with post-traumatic stress, emotional outbursts, nightmares and sleeplessness as a result of the pandemic.
