I think it’s more so kids who were around the age of 2-5 that were affected by the covid lockdown as that’s such a crucial age devleopmentally, Joel being a few weeks-months old shouldn’t know any better as he still saw family & friends. Having a newborn in lockdown would have had some perks too such as no visitors, more time to bond etc!
I was just thinking this. My older 2 (youngest wasn’t born till 2022) were 8 and 4 during the first lockdown. My eldest thrived at home doing home learning etc. infact her teacher actually said she done better at home. My middle daughter love her really really struggled, she was leaving preschool and due to start reception in the September and it still has affected her even now at nearly 9 (we now know she’s autistic and has lots of care needs). She can’t remember lockdown itself. But without a shadow of a doubt it had a major negative affect on her physical and mental health.
The constant in and out of lockdown… then isolations when class mates had covid… she didn’t know if she was coming or going for a child that can not cope with last minute change the whole situation really affected her as it it did with lots of other children
