“Angry, fed up, isolated”: Coronavirus and children’s mental health

This Child in the City news article (16th April 2020) reports on the latest blog from Anna Longfield, the UK’s Children’s Commissioner. She reflects on children’s responses to a survey question on what they would do to manage stress. A quarter of those children who ever feel stressed said that they would normally go outside. Now, this option is only very limited. 43% said that they would hang out with their friends, family or pets.
