Wellbeing

Amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, everyday life has changed and will continue to change for most people. Children may struggle with significant adjustments to their routines (e.g., schools and child care closures, social distancing, home confinement), which may interfere with their sense of structure, predictability, and security.

Young people—even infants and toddlers—are keen observers of people and environments, and they notice and react to stress in their parents and other caregivers, peers, and community members. They may ask direct questions about what is happening now or what will happen in the future and may behave differently in reaction to strong feelings (e.g., fear, worry, sadness, anger) about the pandemic and related conditions. Children also may worry about their own safety and the safety of their loved ones, how they will get their basic needs met (e.g., food, shelter, clothing), and uncertainties for the future.

In addition to keeping children physically safe and well during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is also important to care for their emotional health. Below are various resources to help you and your children maintain good mental health and wellbeing.
