This last year has been a wild ride for kids of all ages, and we’re seeing kids exhibit concerning behaviors including irritability, fatigue, loneliness, lack of motivation, difficulty concentrating, and lack of academic progress.
On Friday, April 30, we spoke to Summit School Psychologists Genevieve White and Dr. Leslie Eget about how the last year has impacted childrens’ mental health, reasons difficult behaviors are on the rise, and how we can reverse some of the impact of the last year. Tune in to also learn about how kids are handling getting back into the classroom, and anxieties surrounding the switch back to in-person school that some students are having.
