\n The coronavirus wreaks havoc on the body and mind, and guardians should be aware of how their children are coping, researchers say.<\/p>\n

There is a common misconception that children are more apt to bounce back from a difficult experience, but a new report from London-based advocacy group the Childhood Trust is shining a light on how disadvantaged and marginalized children are especially susceptible to traumatic and post-traumatic stress as a result of a global pandemic.<\/p>\n

Talking to the BBC, Laurence Guinness, chief executive of the organization, anecdotally claims that many children have had \u201cvivid nightmares\u201d of illness and death during the outbreak \u2014 a symptom of PTSD.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rising death tolls being reported every day \u2014 these kids have seen all of that and internalized it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The report outlines several ways that restrictions to reduce the spread of COVID-19 are having a greater impact on at-risk children.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have engaged directly with children and families living in poverty who have been severely affected by this crisis,\u201d the report states. \u201cFamilies who were already enduring hard, challenging lives have had to survive lockdown in the most app<\/a>alling circumstances. For children in poverty, the crisis has multiplied the impact of the adversities they endure, such as hunger, fear, isolation and stigma.\u201d<\/p>\n

Factors such as domestic abuse and poor access to food, education, health care and recreation are all amplified by social<\/a>-distancing measures and economic recession in dire times such as these. Social distancing makes it more difficult for parents to seek medical treatment for their children, while poverty and hunger are made worse by an economic recession.<\/p>\n

Dr. Adam Brown, clinical assistant professor in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Langone, outlined the signs of traumatic stress in a recent article.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorry, confusion or sadness\u201d would be expected during a \u201cfrightening\u201d event, Brown says. But some \u201cemotional and behavioral reactions might indicate traumatic stress,\u201d which could lead to post-traumatic stress in the future. He says \u201ccurrent stressors,\u201d meaning the outbreak, \u201care ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown focuses on younger children, aged 10 and under, in his own report, and points to symptoms such as intrusive thoughts and nightmares; anxious behaviors such as bed-wetting and irritability; an inability to focus or forgetfulness; and physical manifestations of fear, such as stomachaches and difficulty sleeping.<\/p>\n

For most children exhibiting traumatic stress, \u201cthese symptoms will likely resolve within a few days or weeks, while some may have a more lasting impact,\u201d Brown says. But whether a child is in need of treatment can be hard to determine during a prolonged event, such as the current pandemic, \u201cso if in doubt, consult with a professional,\u201d he writes.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
