HT Dialogues: Creating joy for pandemic stressed children

The post-pandemic world has been tough for all of us, to say the least. But it has been especially challenging for students who have been robbed off their school premises where they used to spend time learning and interacting with friends and teachers. The COVID-19 lockdown left them with no choice but online classes and social distancing. Lack of social interaction and physical activities have led to loneliness, stress and other psychological challenges in the young generation, making it equally difficult for parents to keep the morale of their kids up. This special edition of HT Dialogues focusses on ways to create joy for pandemic-stressed children.
