The COVID-19 pandemic: Technology use to support the wellbeing of children

With the publication of this column, hopefully the world emerges from the quarantine of the COVID-19 pandemic. In March of 2020 with the onslaught of the virus, the lives of working adults changed exponentially, and so did the lives of children. COVID-19 disrupted life as we know it, the effects of which we may be only beginning to realize. It would not be unusual if adults and children felt an impact on their sense of wellbeing throughout this time. Lack of support, trauma, unhelpful thinking styles, chronic illness/disability, and substance use compromises wellbeing in adults (Roddick, 2016).
