About this course
The coronavirus pandemic affected us all differently, with lockdowns and social distancing limiting in-person social interactions. Understanding the impact of disrupted relationships and experiences on your child or children may help you to understand their emotional health now.
Understanding the impact of the pandemic on your child could help you to better understand their behaviour and emotional wellbeing. You may have noticed that your child’s interests have changed since returning to school, or that your child is more anxious, or you might be worried about their social life.
Understanding the impact of the pandemic on your child is a very short course designed to introduce some ideas about children’s emotional wellbeing and the impact of the pandemic. It is for all parents, grandparents and carers of children of primary school age. Our course, Understanding the impact of the pandemic on your teenager, is tailored for older children.

Understanding the impact of the pandemic on your child has been developed by a team of Clinical Psychologists, Child Psychotherapists, and, importantly, parents.
This short course follows five Modules, taking about thirty minutes to follow in total. For ideas on how to support your child and nurture their emotional wellbeing, you may find our courses, Understanding your child: from toddler to teenager or Understanding your child with additional needs, helpful to you.
Understanding the impact of the pandemic on your child is designed for all parents in any situation, but you might find perhaps you begin to feel you would benefit from more personalised or specialist support, so there are some additional resources signposted throughout to guide you.
We know that there are many different families, with different backgrounds and shapes and sizes. We have tried to consider some of the different needs of families in this course, but it hasn't been possible to account for all backgrounds. If your personal situation isn’t reflected, we still hope that you find something helpful in the main ideas about developing close, connected relationships between parents and children and welcome your feedback to improve its relevance.
