Remote learning, being stuck inside and missing friends and family are just some of the tough things that children have had to deal with over the last year.
We asked parents to nominate their super stars and tell us how they have made the most of a bad lockdown situation.
In these confusing and worrying times, local journalism is more vital than ever. Thanks to everyone who helps us ask the questions that matter by taking out a subscription or buying a paper. We stand together. Nancy Fielder, editor.
