5 ways to help your child cope with stress
|
COVID-19 threw a curve ball into our usual way of life, and children are not immune to the worry, stress and unsettledness caused by this pandemic and other destabilising events.
Youngsters are keenly aware of changes to family routines and social interactions. They pick up on pressures being felt by parents. And they absorb adult news and information.
With all this in mind, it's natural for children to feel stressed about this year’s events and their place in the world.

How has nanny care been impacted
by COVID-19?
|
When you welcome a nanny into your house, many benefits come with them.
Quality nannies are screened professionals who provide individualised, in-home child care. They help parents balance work and family, form special connections with children, follow familiar routines, and can lessen a youngster's exposure to illness, compared with centre-based care.
And although COVID-19 has changed the way families share their space, we're pleased to report that nanny care is still a safe and healthy option for parents, children and carers themselves.
To dispel any concerns you might have about inviting a nanny into your home, we spoke with Felicity Gray, Director of Abracadabra Childcare Services.
