With the schools closed for the foreseeable future it can be a tough struggle for parents trying to keep their kids busy and look after their emotional well-being whilst also, for many, trying to work from home.

To help you deal with these issues (and more), my guest on this week's Real Health is Ireland's leading child psychologist, David Coleman, who addresses the most common questions for parents during this Covid-19 time.

From screen time and digital baby-sitting to balance and structure, as well as dealing with warning signs and difficult feelings in kids and teenagers, this week's episode will definitely help you and your children at this difficult period.

Stay healthy and safe and keep in touch with me for daily postings on Instagram and Twitter @KarlHenryPT.
