Statewide Iowa — The pandemic’s been rough on some Iowa kids, many of whom are back to in-person classes and wearing masks again.
A child psychologist suggests parents and teachers need to keep an eye on the children to see how they’re adjusting. Dr. Jason Horowitz says most kids are better off being with their peers, but that’s not always the case.
There are some warning signs parents can watch for that may indicate the child is having a hard time with the transition.
Horowitz says other red flags your child might be having trouble adjusting include new misbehaviors you haven’t seen before.
He says it’s up to parents and teachers to help kids make the adjustments needed to flourish with their peers.
