The pandemic is an especially difficult time for a lot of families. Working from home, home-schooling and limited leisure time options make life stressful for parents and children and the stress is amplified by the ever-present risk of infection. In this situation, it is not surprising that many people’s nerves are on edge and frustration, conflict and arguments are quick to surface.

How can children best be supported in the pandemic? How can you overcome your own worries – and where can you go for help when you don’t know what to do next?
