Loss includes divorce, separation, trauma, bereavement, moving house and the impact of the Covid epidemic on children. Deirdre Edwards talks to Mark Pougatch about how big changes impact a youngster in unpredictable and unprecedented ways. This can manifest itself in sadness, shyness, unprovoked temper tantrums, silliness, wakefulness, self-harm and food refusal. She discusses ways to rebalance a child who presents with ‘out of character behaviours’; the importance of communication and the impact of trauma on the cranial nerve and when to seek counselling.
