Up to 600,000 adults working in healthcare may need mental health help

I think you are projecting adult fears onto children Their teachers won't be telling them that and most parents won't be telling them that. They will be worried about change but where it's presented positively it should negate such worries.

 

Well if they’re hearing people saying that, it’s the adults at fault.

You should be ashamed

 

depends on the parent I guess.

 

It's applaudable that some posters show so much concern, and the thrust of it is well placed. What should be guarded against is "catasrophising" the situation, which happens regularly. This is where "Covid is terrible en masse for kids and there are no positives."

I'd imagine that there are also unmentioned positives such as more time with parents, and a decrease in bullying from peers; to name two off the top of my head.

 

No offence but as someone without children I’m not sure that this is your area of expertise. Mine have been able to cope with their mum working as a nurse taking Covid tests twice a week in front of them and a family member dying. They understand the seriousness but that life is temporary. If you talk properly to them then they will be fine. If you are a crap parent the pandemic won’t make you better but then nothing will.

From a personal point of view it’s given me and the girls lots of time together that we would not have had otherwise and helped our relationship and the school work I make enough do is far harder than schools.

you know what they probably wouldn’t be able to cope with the thought that do to their actions hurting other people.

 

You realise I don't live with them right you arrogant cu. nt

For someone who claims to analyse data for a living you are absolutely terrible at reading what's on your screen.

Do children see the TV? Yeah funny how that works isn't it

 

Congratulations. Your kids don't represent all kids. Stop being selfish

 

Or their parents constantly talking about how stupid the rules are, how stupid masks are, how unsafe vaccinations are etc.
Or talking about how these rules are here for good and it's all about the government controlling people.

I don't have kids, but I have a big family with many nieces and nephews. They're all thriving and their parents are in various states of work/home work/furlough etc.
They're taking the pandemic seriously, they understand why masks are necessary, why the rules are necessary and that they are temporary.

 

I suspect they represent the vast majority. Most parents look after their kids well. In Scandinavian countries like Finland kids don’t even start school until they are 7 and they have sone of the best academic results and score high on the happiness scale.

My 11 year older was far more worried about doing SATS then she is about lockdown.

Again you are catastrophising a situation you know very little about in some random attempt at whataboutery.

 

Yeah that’s exactly my experience mine have regular video calls with their friends and while it’s not ideal it helps.

if course there are poor parents as you say the Covidiots and I can see that having a detrimental impact on their kids breeding paranoia and selfishness but my experience is that those are thankfully in the minority

 

You're a complete *****

 

Do you not think that how someone parents their child impacts that child.

I would take a breath if I were you. I can be polite to you and your covidiocy a couple of hours after attending a funeral of someone who died of CV19 so would expect the same.

 

You should be banned from this board, you post sensational exaggerated opinions then get personal and insulting when people don't agree with you.

 

My kids saw on telly what I allowed them to, when they were old enough to understand complex issues we had discussions.

Unlike you and your guessing, I’ve brought up kids and supported other people’s kids for decades.

OTOH you’re looking for any semblance of negativity you can find to add to your doom scrolling addiction.

And why you’d think people would make up a job title is beyond parody, time to grow up a bit, you’re getting embarrassing.

 

All the ancillary staff I assume, paramedics / admin / managers / porters / cleaners, you name it. Without them the NHS would be ****** too.

 

Really no need for that. You disagree, get over it. But dropping c bombs isn't cool.

What do you read, the Beano?

 

Well nothing from Murdoch.

And the above would suggest I’d be right to have chosen that path.

 

I could not care less if it's cool or not. He has talked down to me for 10cmonths, he's belittled my nephew's mental health problems by saying the worst he's got to deal with is not being able to play out with mates, on top of that he has now blamed me for his mental health struggles and followed it up by blaming my sister.

A 'c bomb' does not even begin to describe him

 

The report button is right there. Be sure to report the personal abuse and insults I've received too though
