Kids, just like everyone else, are really struggling right now. A survey from Parents Together involving hundreds of families found that six months into the pandemic, 70 percent of children report feeling sad, worried or overwhelmed more often. Nearly half (47%) of the parents who participated in the study reported that they were concerned for their mental health and an additional 45 percent said they noticed problems with their child’s behavior since the pandemic started. According to Motherly, the good news is that kids will “bounce back” if they receive “emotional support from the adults in their lives.”
