Colman Noctor: Life will not pick up where it left off for children because restrictions end

As children reintegrate, they will take the emotional and developmental baggage of the last two years with them. It is important, therefore, that they are supported through patience, time, and compassion to re-establish the skills required to navigate a non-pandemic world.

As we move from pandemic restrictions to endemic, there are many reasons to be optimistic.

The large-scale reopening and end to most of the restrictions is a good thing.
