Children may respond to stress in different ways in crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes being clingier, anxious, angry, withdrawing and bedwetting.

Here are some tips provided by the World Health Organization that you can follow to reduce your child's stress:

- Listen to their concerns and give them extra love

- Give them more time and attention

- Speak to them kindly and supportively, while reassuring them

- Keep children close to their parents and family

- Keep to regular routines and schedules as much as possible

- Give them clear information about how to reduce their risk of being infected
