Child psychologists share their advice for concerned parents during this time of uncertainty.
He noted that anxious children are likely to feel more anxious, while those with anger issues may have more frequent outbursts.Kids don’t always verbalize their struggles, but anxiety, depression and other mental health issues can manifest in unusual behavior or moods.“With more anxious children, they may be asking more questions than usual, and seeking reassurance that everything is going to be okay,” von Lob explained.
Some kids may oscillate between acting very clingy to rejecting and withdrawing from others. These changes in attachment behavior can be common in difficult and uncertain situations. “Some may become more withdrawn and retreat into their rooms to spend more time on technology and phones,” said von Lob.While parents are paying attention to their family’s physical health and any worrying symptoms of COVID-19, it’s also possible for kids’ mental struggles to manifest in their bodies.
