Children spend most of their productive hours with teachers and peers in the school
atmosphere. It is from the schools that they learn many lessons of social life. With the
outbreak of Covid 19 pandemic, the social life and learning of children across the world are
significantly affected. They have been out of schools and are confined to their houses. This
has led to many mental health issues in children and adolescents. Mental health problems
among children and adolescents are on the rise. Teachers and school counsellors are the right
people who can easily identify any changes occurring in the behaviours of children. The
school counsellors if given proper training can help in dealing with many emotional and
behavioural issues in children.
