Lockdown Support by Experienced Therapists to Help Parents of Children and Young Adults
One of the hardest groups being affected by lockdown are teenagers.
Developmentally this is one age where peers, friendships and socilaisation is so important.
Being away from their friends and losing independence no matter how basic (getting the bus to school, ordering lunch, catching up on weekends with friends, staying out late), all contribute to your child’s development and lockdowns mean they are likely to be feeling more constrained and restricted than ever before.
Younger children may not quite understand what is happening and even though they may not be able to express it they can also be feeling restricted and frustrated by the changes.
Sometimes as parents we can explain a situation many times and the young children may still not quite grasp what it all means. This then results in behaviour challenges that may be a reflection of confusion and frustration.
As adults we not only have to manage these big feelings in children but also in ourselves. An extended lockdown will surely test that. Juggling the already difficult responsibilities within the confines of our homes has tested our capacity. It would be expected most families have struggled at some stage in lockdown, it would be reasonable to expect this.
There are some easy and key things you can do for you and your family to help manage these feelings.
