For many children, the pandemic means staying at home, not seeing friends or going to the playground. It's difficult to regulate emotions with so much going on. But there are ways parents can help.

Psychological health includes being able to bear unpleasant feelings.
Many kids (and parents) spend time wishing they were in classes, not just on their laptops. They feel angry and frustrated, sometimes lonely and depressed. That's ok. Let them feel it and validate it. This is not the school they signed up for--and you may not have been too excited to homeschool either. Show your teens how to admit, express and sit with the feelings.

Kids read emotions better after spending several days without electronic media, according to new research.
The UCLA researchers studied two groups of sixth-graders from a Southern California public school. One group was sent to the Pali Institute, an outdoor education camp in Running Springs, Calif., where the kids had no access to electronic devices. For the other group, it was life as usual.
At the beginning and end of the five-day study period, both groups of kids were shown images of nearly 50 faces and asked to identify the feelings being modeled. Researchers found that the students who went to camp scored significantly higher when it came to reading facial emotions or other nonverbal cues than the students who continued to have access to their media devices.
As the comments say, there were too many variables so this study is not very reliable. However, it does seem enough to warrant more and better studies. -Lon
