More resources… These are great ones…

 

Over 2000 people attended the online Webinar, Supporting Young Children’s Health through the Pandemic, hosted by Dr Anthea Rhodes (Paediatrician) with special guests Dr Ric Haslam (Director, Mental Health), Dr Alice Morgan (Clinical Psychologist) and Prof Harriet Hiscock (Paediatrician) working at the Royal Children's Hospital. I was one of these 2000 people. I also attended a session with Michael Carr Gregg and staff from Melbourne University a couple of nights later, with similar very helpful content, discussing so many questions we are all seeking the answers for.

The content was mostly about remote learning and catching up, anxiety, family conflict between siblings and questions from parents, many with primary school aged children. 

The webinar, Supporting Young Children’s Health through the Pandemic, is really worth watching as it answers many questions that teachers are often asked and questions you may be possibly asking yourself.
