My daughter did not cope well during the COVID19 lockdown. The loss of routine, the challenge of homeschooling, new discomforts and unknown expectations, working parents, online interactions, ballet by zoom, worries about family. She receded from the world as her anxiety heightened, folding in on herself in an origami-like fashion. She panicked. She railed. Her resilience wavered. She is forever changed.
