Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrician, Dr. Roby Marcou, and I discuss the developmental and behavioral impact of the Covid 19 experiences on children, adolescents, families and educators. What should teachers do to help their students adjust? What are some strategies families can use if their child is experiencing anxiety about returning? And, what should schools be focusing on during their first few months back? Hint: It ‘s not “Business as usual.” Make sure to forward this on to your school counselors and administrators so everyone comes back to school on the same page.
