As adults, we all have diverse needs and different ways of coping with stressful situations. For children, it is the same. Some children will have dealt well with restrictions and school closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. For others, it is challenging to cope with all the changes and uncertainty. Some children will return to school having experienced some level of stress, anxiety, isolation and grief.

Children may feel nervous or reluctant to return to school, especially if they have been learning at home for months. The shift to virtual learning was perhaps the biggest, and most acutely felt, changes in daily life for children and adolescents during the pandemic. As a school, we scrambled to transform our educational model almost overnight as students became online learners, far away from classmates and school routines.
