That Feeling Is Called Grief

Hello!

Children and youth tend to come a bit more honest with what they're feeling in the midst of change. They'll often be the first to tell you if the changes are exciting or dreadful or even scary. We adults rather take in a scenario for a period of time as we assess what the social norms and expectations are.

The children and youth have been vocal about the changes we're seeing. Some are excited to get more time at home with their parents. Others are missing their friends, their freedom, and the different mile markers they had on their calendars (i.e. prom, graduation, etc).

What about the adults?
