This is one of a number of rules that children have had to observe since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite what we have been told about their effectiveness as a public health measure, we know little about the short- or long-term psychological impact of mask wearing &#8211; especially on children. Eyes may be the windows to the soul, but a smile is contagious \u2013 and when last did they see a stranger\u2019s smile? With their voices being absent in debate and research, what we know about children\u2019s perceptions of wearing masks is limited.<\/p><p>Then there is the upset when overhearing reports on a person\u2019s Covid-19 experience, the distressing stories of hospitalisation, as well as accounts on the death toll.<\/p><p>Because media exposure can be overwhelming and alarming, it should be limited. It is also suggested you create opportunities to \u2018check in\u2019 with your child &#8211; not a formal sit-down conversation but a casual chat while doing other things.<\/p><p>Children display <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nctsn.org\/what-is-child-trauma\/trauma-types\/disasters\/pandemic-resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trauma<\/a><\/strong><\/em> in various negative ways \u2013 some of which include:<\/p><ul><li>nightmares<\/li><li>sadness,<\/li><li>hopelessness,<\/li><li>irritability\/anxiety<\/li><li>anger,<\/li><li>numbness,<\/li><li>sleepiness\/sleep difficulties.<\/li><\/ul><p>Certain children may act silly or younger than their age, others may bed-wet, lack concentration, daydream, while several are known to complain of stomach pains and headaches.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capulumcollege.com\/dev2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/capulum-college-trauma_comforting-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"trauma comforting\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capulumcollege.com\/dev2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/capulum-college-trauma_comforting-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.capulumcollege.com\/dev2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/capulum-college-trauma_comforting.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>To help disturbed children process their feelings we recommend &#8211; depending on the age of the child &#8211; asking her\/him what she\/he has heard and whether there are any questions. Provide accurate explanations and use child-friendly language. Avoid euphemisms, such as \u2018grandma went away\u2019 because this may be confusing.
