Perhaps what has affected mental health the most are the fear and uncertainty associated with Covid-19. Not only has it defined a “new normal”, it has changed the way everyone imagined their future to be. Children, in particular, are finding it difficult to understand the way the world is functioning today, especially when their senses are constantly involved in helping them understand their environment. What steps, then, can parents take to take care of their children’s mental health? Dr. Amit Sen, in conversation with Sunalini Mathew, delves deeper into the issue. Dr. Amit Sen is a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, and the co-founder of Children First. Sunalini Mathew is the Features Editor at The Hindu.
