Difficulty with attention and concentration

Support your child

Parents can find more information about supporting their children during a COVID-19 outbreak on CDC’s Stress and Coping page.
Talk with your child or teen about the COVID-19 outbreak. Answer questions and share facts about COVID-19 in a way that your child or teen can understand.
Learn more about common reactions that children may have and how you can help children cope with emergencies.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Doesn't address how parents can manage stress, instead focuses of symptoms of stress in children and teens.
Relates to stress in children as opposed to the query which was for how the parent can cope with the stress. One could infer that handling or reducing the child's stress level might help the parent get theirs under control but it might cause them more duress as well.

page_title: If You Are Pregnant, Breastfeeding, or Caring for Young Children
section_headers: Coping with stress
section_content: Pandemics can be stressful for everyone. Fear and anxiety about a disease can
be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in both adults and children.
Coping successfully with stress will make you, the people you care about,
and your community stronger.
Talk with your children about the pandemic. It is important to try to stay
calm and to give children information that is truthful and appropriate for
their ages and developmental levels. Children respond differently to
stressful situations than adults. CDC offers resources to help you talk with your children
about COVID-19.
Depression during and after pregnancy is common and can be treated. Postpartum
depression is depression that can happen after having a baby. If you think you
may be experiencing depression, seek treatment from your health care provider
as soon as possible. Find more information on depression during and after
pregnancy.
Pregnant people and parents caring for young children may be experiencing
increased stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CDC offers resources to help
with Stress and Coping.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer mentions "coping successfully with stress" but does not give much guidance other than for parents to talk to children or help for women with postpartum depression. Answer is too vague but at least addresses the main issue raised in the question.
Directly addresses parents' stress levels, gives advice to consult healthcare professionals. Also includes links to resources with coping techniques.
