We must let you know that the Covid 19 is among the most challenging experiences our society has had to face in the last few years. Surprisingly, the pandemic is also a behavioral and social issue. Until the emergence of a vaccine or therapeutics that can fully treat the disease, the effective tools for reducing the effect of COVID-19 are behavioral and social. If you never knew, the whole process of washing our hands, avoiding touching our faces, social distance, facing isolation, and coordinating with other people demand changes in our social conditions and behaviors. These social conditions and behaviors are transformative for both society and us as individuals. Not to forget that coping with this pandemic's stress and the convulsion it is causing our community will necessitate bringing resources from social policies, mental and physical health. Children's Psychological Problems Facing The Pandemic Reports carried out have shown that kids in Las Vegas are experiencing the highest rates of depression and anxiety. Note that the rate of youth suicide is high as young adults are suffering from both loneliness and isolation far away from peers and friends. As a parent stressed with all that is going on, talking to your kid about their feelings and concerns will greatly prevent their symptoms from getting worse. While the school environment plays an intricate role in the development of kids, the pandemic has led to schools' shutdown. However, some schools in Las Vegas are pushing hard to reopen schools due to the Hugh rise in suicide among students. Although the cause of these suicides cannot be entirely blamed on the closure of schools, the significant impact the lockdown has had on kids can never be overlooked. This is a crisis within a crisis as both the state and school district officials are trying their best to balance both the health of the public and its students' mental health. Through the report brought about by Mental Health America, kids' internal struggle during the pandemic has been highlighted. The data has revealed that COVID-19 is seriously threatening lives in more ways than we can imagine. The report was carried out via an online screening program. It has revealed that the number of people seeking help with anxiety or depression has reached ninety-three percent and sixty-two percent, between January and September of 2020, respectively. It also stated that the number of people reporting moderate to critical symptoms of depression and anxiety has continued to climb higher. When it comes to kids between the ages of eleven to seventeen, the report showed that this age group scored moderate to critical symptoms of depression and anxiety all through the pandemic. As of September 2020, eighty-four percent of eleven to seventeen-year-old scored moderate to critical anxiety, while about ninety percent scored moderate to severe depression. The students who need help for the first time in the pandemic cannot find the help they need. This is due to decreased in-person services, tired mental health experts, and long waiting lists. Parent's Stress In The Pandemic Parents have specially challenging roles at this time as they try to manage the pandemic's stress not just themselves alone but for the kids as well. However, the shared experience is a chance to assist kids in coping with their anxiety and emotions. Parents can assist their kids in coping with their feelings by showing them how it can be done. Parents can try to name their feelings and show the kids they will manage to help them understand that this is a regular aspect of being human. However, parents cannot delve into this topic without gauging the child's feelings. This is why parents need to be on the lookout for warning signs of prospective distress like changes in mood or the kid's behavior. If you can pick on any change, it is time to have a serious conversation where you are to talk about feelings and validate the kid's feelings even in moments where you do not understand all that is going on. Understand that this will go a long way in assisting them in opening up about how they feel. If you think they are struggling, do not hesitate to talk to someone like a doctor about getting help. When you have these conversations with your kids, it will help them and empower them. With the schools been closed, it is only regular for kids to ask what is going on. However, the amount of information you will share with your kids will be dependent on their age and maturity. As a parent, you are to take cues from your kids and consider the most vital information. Understand that this pandemic is an uncontrollable stressor in the field of coping. This is why it will be mindful to identify the things we can control like good hygiene, social distancing, and explaining to kids how germs are spread. While your kids may be sad that they cannot do their usual things like playing with their friends in enclosed spaces, going to the museum or library, you can use technology at this point. Technology will help as you can make a video call chat with either relatives or friends. Some of the signs you should look out for if your kid may likely be stressed or anxious include:

• Acting out more than the usual
• Becoming withdrawn
• Expressing anxiety or stress directly

You are to check on your kids regularly and be supportive of their feelings. For the little kids, you can help by getting them distracted. While the social distancing will disrupt their regular routine, you can ask your kids for suggestions on what they will like to do for the time being.
