Dr Tim Hawkes podcast on children adjusting back-to-school post COVID-19
Back-to-school after COVID-19
As Australian kids start heading back to school, many face a range of emotions, anxiety, fear, and sadness as they pivot to a new school norm, temperature checks, schedule changes, and new seating arrangements in class.
For many this causes a sense of anxiousness. For those in their final year of school, tremendous sadness around their loss of a rite of passage in their final senior year. For fathers and families, they need us more than ever.
Join Dr Tim Hawkes in our new Podcast series Figuring it out Together.
