Struggling with not being able to go to school

Some of you might be struggling to understand why you can’t go back to school and be missing your friends and the routine.  It must have been really difficult to adapt to the new way of life and at times you might have felt very trapped and fed up with being ‘stuck in’ with your family members.

This may have created feelings of anger and frustration and that’s ok.  Your grown-ups may also feel like this.  Try to understand that they are trying to juggle looking after you, the house, themselves, their job – and now they have had to be teachers too!

Below are some links to resources that might help you to deal with these feelings and try to contain or control them as well as help the household to be a calm and nice place to be, for everyone.
