Almost two years into the COVID pandemic, and so much has changed for kids. For some of our young patients, they can't remember a time without masks, social distancing and life online. What impact has this "new normal" had on kids, particularly those whose worldview and social interactions have been shaped primarily by the pandemic? Join our conversation with Kathy Hoogerhyde, student support psychologist, as we discuss how the social and emotional development of kids have been impacted by repeated quarantines, social distance guidelines and a lack of typical group social interactions. Learn about factors that impact childhood resiliency, the social developmental tasks that have been impacted for some of our youngest patients and the lack of coping strategies that are becoming more and more apparent in school-aged kids. Most importantly, we will discuss strategies for supporting kids during this unprecedented time.
