Both of my kids are struggling a bit, sadly. With youngest being learning disabled, she doesn't understand anything about viruses/lockdowns/why we can't go out and she's missing school and her usual activities and getting quite frustrated.
Eldest is very, very sociable and while she was fine for a couple of weeks, is starting to get quite down with not being able to see friends and go to stage school etc.
She can still talk to her friends every day (they all have things like SnapChat, Roblox... she's even taken to playing Fortnite with some of the boys in her class...) but it's not the same as socialising in person. So while she is generally great company, at the moment she's very sensitive and getting upset easily.
...sorry, this is meant to be for positives of lockdown!
I guess on the positive side, youngest has gone from mostly ignoring the dog and lowkey disliking her/finding her annoying, to enjoying her company and finding her funny, because they're stuck together all day so she's had to get used to her
. The pair of them together is guaranteed mischief though. If it's too quiet and youngest + dog are nowhere to be seen, there's
bad things afoot 
.
