As children grow and develop the need for social interaction with peers the same age is crucial for their social and emotional development.

Our experiences with COVID-19 are far from going away. As a result, we need to understand what are the short and long term effect of Isolation on Children?

The more we know, the better we can ensure children are not missing out on developing crucial life skills and we are supporting them the best we can.

To help talk to us about this today we welcome our special guest Breanna Jayne Sada is a Lysn Psychologist.
