During this time, there has been a LOT of changes. Changes in routine; your availability; possibly finances; accessibility to what used to be common items; work schedule; and physical, mental, and emotional health may have affected you and your family. This means it is affecting your children as well! You may have a lot on your plate right now, but taking care of your child's mental and emotional health is also essential.
