S3E10 NYT Reporter, Claire Cain Miller, on the Pandemic’s Effect on Children
The pandemic stressed social and emotional skills like those you need to make and keep friends, participate in group projects and cope with frustration and other emotions. So today we’re looking at emotional balance for young people. Liz Solomon spoke with New York Times reporter Claire Kane Miller about an eye opening survey of school counselors across the country.
The survey described many students as developmentally frozen at their pre pandemic stage. We spoke with Gwen and Kim who work in elementary schools for first hand reports on the emotional state of children.
