Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The pandemic generation: How Covid-19 lockdowns is having a
long-lasting effect on children
All of a sudden, schools, offices, and commercial and public facilities
in many places were closed in March 2020 for months when the COVID-19 pandemic
swept the world. It appears to have a profound impact, especially on young children
whose mental, physical, academic, and social developments are yet to mature and
are in a critical phase. Even after schools began to open and restrictions were
eased, children were told to wear masks, keep distance from others, avoid
interactions and conversations with others, and stay at home. Children then
missed the chance to feel, smell, and engage with the social environment. They
end up spending a lot of time on their smartphone or game machines by
themselves. In many schools, as classes were held online for months or even
longer, many students didn’t seem to have learned as well as they were supposed
to in actual classes. How are they doing now?
Read the article and learn about the effects are teachers and experts are
finding among the COVID-affected children, a few years after the social
distraction
