In this first of three episodes we interview young people about their experiences of the last 12 months and what it has been like for them. The most effective way to improve your parenting approach is to better understand the world your child lives in, through their eyes. These three episodes are a edits from a series of interviews with young people who honestly and insightfully share their experiences of living in a pandemic, school closures, social isolation and much much more. The children also provide a report card on how the adults in their lives have done over the last year, identifying what worked well, and not so well. They provide insights into what they miss the most, what they’re looking forward to post Covid and how it has impacted on them. This first episode has many voices of primary school children and some secondary school young people too. The following 2 episodes will focus more on teens and young adults. So don’t miss this one it’s a cracker!
