Honestly its going to be a struggle, Concussions are a funny thing because not only are the victims freaked out by the fact that they've injured their brain. But the depression could be a result of the injury itself.
I think its important to keep them engaged in something, just resting is tough because it leaves a lot of dead time to worry. even if they shouldn't or can't use electronics and reading is a pain in the butt (and it was for me). Just talking works. In one of mine, my girlfriend got me engaged in a version of I see with my little eye, and it kept my mind off of things.
The frustration point and anxiety stuff gets worse if the symptoms fade out a bit and then come back stiffling recovery. I had a concussion where the symptoms kept going away and then coming back full force a few days later, and this lasted months, you need to have a good understanding of that and the recovery process.
And yeah not seeing the kids as much is a moral crusher, I get that.
