When children are struggling, they often regress. That means they revert to a level of behavior appropriate for a younger child. For example, a school-age child might start having toddler-esque tantrums again. Or a tween who becomes suddenly clingy. According to HuffPost, psychologists say regression is an entirely normal reaction to the constantly changing conditions brought about by the pandemic. Generally, it's nothing to worry about. However, if the behavior is interfering with the child's ability to function, then parents should get involved. For example, if a child who used to be able to feed themselves now needs to be spoon-fed, and every meal is turning into a battle, that’s different. Have a pediatrician rule out any medical conditions. After that, reach out to your child's school to meet with its educational psychologist or counselor.
