A new helpline for parents will help them manage children's behaviour and help explain the Covid-19 pandemic to kids.

Barnardos has set up the support in reaction to demand from parents who have been struggling in the past couple of weeks.

The charity says many supports that were available, are now not there because of the restrictions surrounding the coronavirus.

Claire Deane from Barnardos outlines some of the concerns.

'How do I manage my child's worries and anxiety, my daughter is really scared to go to sleep, or my daughter is really worried she may have caught the virus.

"They may also have noticed that the children's behaviour has changed, or there may be conflict between siblings, or between parent relationships."
