The coronavirus pandemic means staying at home - which translates to kids as not going back to class until September, online learning, no play dates and being stuck in the house with their annoying brother or sister or parents! Most children are resilient and will make it through this time just fine. But there are other kids who may not fare as well. They are feeling the financial pressure from their parents who may have been laid off. They may not have access to the internet and cannot participate in on-line learning. School may have been their safe haven from a dysfunctional family. How are they to cope? We talk about our children's mental health during the pandemic. Psychiatrist Dr. Pat King will share warning signs of depression and other mental illness and provide guidance to parents on how to maintain a healthy home environment for our young people. And we talk with one young man who turned his coronavirus frustration into song!
