"If your child is saying, ‘I need help,' maybe they don't know how to express themselves in the right way,” said Ambar Rios, a licensed professional counselor at UT Health San Antonio.
Rios says she noticed anxiety went up after in-person learning began. Some students have had trouble adjusting to being around other kids in the classroom and dealing with sadness because of the death of a family member due to COVID-19.
