Hi @RachelB and welcome to the forums - we're so glad you've joined the community. If you'd like to create a new thread of your own, please feel free to do that here.  I'm so sorry to hear about your worries for your daughter - that sounds really stressful.

Parenting in lockdown is tough sometimes.    We're here for you any time you want to talk. ... View more
