Pathstone has a few tips for parents as they get ready to send their kids back to school.
This includes reassuring them that its safe to go back to school and explaining the importance of masks and physical distancing.
You should expand your child's social circle and allow them to have playdates with their friends. This will benefit their social development after months of staying home.
It's also a good idea to get them back into that school routine. This means going to bed early and packing lunches.
Pathstone says the pandemic has caused an increased risk of depression and anxiety in kids.
If they continue to be isolated they could miss essential developmental milestones.
Pathstone has reopened its free clinics in Fort Erie, Port Colborne, Welland, Niagara Falls, Thorold, St. Catharines, Beamsville, and Grimsby.
You have to call 1-800-263-4944 to book an appointment in advance.
