Lockdown has been hard on kids who are stuck indoors. Children and young people may feel worried or anxious about different things. Beyond the virus itself there is the interruption of the normal school routine, suddenly spending most of their time indoors and no longer regularly seeing family and friends.
Walking – the current advice is that it’s OK to walk outdoors as long as you stay two metres away from other people. If you are lucky enough to have a garden, spend time there, maybe doing some exercise, maybe pulling up some weeds or tidying.
