The effect of the lockdown cannot be ignored when it comes to the young ones. Children also have their own worries and fears about Coronavirus. Their daily routine has changed, life is very different. Their lives have been turned upside down by the pandemic and for most children the world they knew have literally just disappeared. No more school, friends to play with, exams to prepare for, extracurricular activities cancelled and inability to see loved ones who are not resident in the same house. We cannot assume they will all cope very well. It's important we pay attention to their feelings, acknowledge these feelings and help them through this period.  

In today's podcast, Bimbola and Jo were joined by Phinnah Chichi who is a Parenting Teens Educator, Consultant, Speaker, School governor and Mentor and the conversation was geared towards how we can help our children cope better during the lockdown and ensure they come out of with a sound mental health. We were also joined by the children who clearly had a thing or two to say about the lockdown.
