Colman Noctor: Children need our support as they readjust to school life

Last week I moved from the kitchen table to my office in UCD. While the commute and having to queue for a coffee is a pain, I am delighted to be back, teaching third-level students face to face.
It is wonderful to walk across the campus and hear the loud thumping music echoing around the square and seeing students sitting out on the grass with their bags of promotional goodies, chatting and laughing. However, I have found the absence of social distancing and the bustling crowds a little unnerving. I disliked working from home and was counting down the days until I was back on-site, so was caught off guard by my anxiety.
