Toni says: Everyone has had it tough through this pandemic from the unstructured workaholic, the unhappily marrieds, the isolated depressed, the trapped social butterfly and the stretched parent. In all this mix are the kids who have been pushed from pillar to post with rules changing every week and their environment on a never-ending carousel after the schools reopened. While the rest of us have cobbled together coping strategies and cashed in some hard won resilience, kids are vulnerable to the cumulative effects of uncertainty and fear- it’s all got to go somewhere. Relief might be from a caregiver’s words of wisdom or modelling of behaviour, or it might come from the tools a counsellor can offer.
