Dr. Edith Bracho-Sanchez is a primary care pediatrician, director of pediatric telemedicine and assistant professor of pediatrics at Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
Pediatrician Edith Bracho-Sanchez says that some children in her practice are having a hard time during the pandemic.Like the rest of us, children in this country have been told to stay inside, to wash their hands and to wear a mask for months now. For some kids, the restrictions, what they've heard on the news and their own personal experience with Covid-19 have made the outside world feel like a dangerous place.
Both Chaudhary and Robles-Ramamurthy acknowledged the enormous task ahead for both teachers and parents, and yet remain hopeful for this fall, stressing children's resilience and ability to adapt to changing circumstances. " are usually more likely to settle into new norms with grace than adults as long as we help them navigate the bumps in the road along the way," Chaudhary said."And that means supporting teachers so that they can support our kids," she said.
