Acting national advisor in charge of Psycho-social Support Sub cluster Dr Nirvana Karan says parents, guardians and teachers need to be aware of the “red flag” behaviours that can signal emotional upset or lingering trauma.
“Lots of crying, not sleeping well, being really clingy to their parents or not wanting to go out of the house, being more quiet than usual or they might be asking a lot of questions as in what happened? How did it happen? Or they might be re-enacting certain parts of the disaster through play and drawing.”
