The Year That Was #3: Parenting

Arguably, parents and children faced the biggest challenges in the second year of the pandemic, where we saw continued school closures, a spike in the number of children getting COVID-19, and the introduction of vaccination for teenagers. How have children and parents been coping, and how did the pandemic control strategies affect them? In the third episode of this short series where we reflect on 2021, consultant paediatrician Dr Rakhee Yadav, and Dr Melati Nungsari, a parent, join us to look at the year that was at home, for both parents and children.
