Curriculum: Helping Kids Redevelop Social Skills Post-Pandemic

Life may seem like it's pretty much back to normal in this post-pandemic world, but for many "pandemic kids" or "bunker babies" - all those missed social interactions during those prolonged lockdowns and quarantines have caused a lapse in their ability to socialise in an in-person group setting. Tracy Ho, a Certified Supervisor for Play Therapy, joins us to share what she has been seeing in her practice in terms of children struggling with socialisation, and how parents and caregivers can set the right pace for re-socialisation.
