Children s Mental Health Week: Growing up in the COVID-19 transformational era

Share A video of a toddler born in the year 2020 pressing inanimate objects in the hope of dispensing hand sanitizer recently went viral. Although bizarre, this is emblematic of the current hyper-precautionary health climate that Generation Alpha will be growing up in. The WHO s hygiene campaign, Save Lives: Clean your Hands to reduce COVID-19 infections has galvanised even the youngest in our populations to be mindful of self-hygiene. Despite children being somewhat sheltered by the ravaging physical effects of the pandemic, (the Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet) found that out of the 71 under-18s who have needed intensive care, most have survived), we can t help but ask, will any of this have detrimental psychological effects in the long-term?
