Psychologists produce advice for key workers and their children

Psychologists from the British Psychological Society have produced guidance for key workers and their children on navigating the emotional effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The booklet for parents gives some straightforward tips on how they can help their children to cope, which includes:

• Asking the child questions and talking to them
• Giving the child choices over their time
• Making their routine as consistent as possible, particularly at bedtime
• Helping them to understand and share their feelings
