The COVID-19 pandemic hit everyone hard, but especially kids. During key periods of growth, their social lives screeched to a halt. They spent more time on screens and less time outside. Not to mention the stress and uncertainty of a worldwide pandemic. Even healthy kids began to struggle in their development and well-being.
On this episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we talk to Dr. Rebecca Jackson about child development, the disruptions of COVID, and how parents and kids can move forward together.
You can purchase Dr. Jackson's book, "Back on Track," at Mayo Clinic Press.
