Now, in conditions of uncertainty, we are all under tension and may experience anxiety and stress. But children need support now more than ever. It is difficult for a child to understand the peculiarities of adult life and politics. Children feel well and emotionally experience the events that have happened. Signs of stress in children: ⚠️ Acute (negative) previously unseen reaction, for example, bitter crying for no reason or when a parent is absent. Absent-mindedness, lack of confidence.⚠️ Withdrawal or excessive excitability⚠️ Sudden onset of enuresis, encopresis, tics, thumb sucking, scratching or hair pulling⚠️ Loss of appetite, weight, sleep disturbance.⚠️ Emotional reactions, whining, tearfulness, whims, frequent mood swings⚠️ Trembling , fears, anxiety, timidity. Psycho-emotional stress deprives a child of a full life and can lead to the development of neurosis.⁉️ 1⃣ The first and important step is to have a heart-to-heart talk with the child.
