More than half of parents feel the Covid-19 threat and subsequent lockdowns have had a detrimental effect on their children's mental well-being, according to new research.
Four in 10 believe their kids have experienced a heightened sense of anxiety since the outbreak. And a third have seen a lack of energy and enthusiasm, with one in five, admitting their young ones are no longer sleeping well.
Perhaps most worryingly, a quarter of adults said they would be unable to identify if their child was struggling with mental health.
