This is the first of a two-part special looking at how families are coping with the ongoing pandemic, especially those who remain in lockdown.
In Part One, The Quicky speaks to a number of parents, including a doctor and a psychologist to hear in their own words what the impact of seemingly endless restrictions has been, and what we can do to when we feel like we aren't coping.
If you are experiencing parental burnout and need some support, you can join the Parental Burnout Facebook group, or speak to our expert guest Hélène Gatland.
