Helping kids with back to school anxiety

As thousands of kids head back to school, it?s natural for many of them and their parents to feel anxious and apprehensive as they resume in-person learning after having spent most of last school year learning remotely due to the pandemic that is now on a rebound. Not only are they concerned about their physical well-being of catching COVID-19, but many are also struggling mentally about the possibility of getting sick and are asking should I or shouldn?t I wear a mask, socially distance from my friends, and what about closely interacting closely with my teachers whom they have not seen in person for many months? Dr. Hamid Amanatkar, a Child Psychiatrist with Kaiser Permanente West L.A.?talks to Good Day LA about what parents should look for and what they can do to help.
