Children are facing this problem in school
The research clearly stated that children born during the time of Corona are now old enough to go to play and pre-school, but according to teachers, the effect of stress and isolation of the pandemic is clearly visible on those children. Many of these students are facing a lot of difficulties in understanding and speaking anything in school or at home. They also sit quietly in the class. There are many who are not even able to hold a pencil properly.
Children are having trouble holding a pencil
When these children are taught, they do not understand properly. Their mental and physical development has become very slow. The things that have been said in this research are based on the interviews of more than 2 dozen teachers and children’s doctors.
On the basis of this research, it would not be wrong to say that since the Corona epidemic, the number of children who are facing a lot of difficulty in reading and writing has increased all over the world. Children are facing a lot of difficulty in holding a pencil, expressing their needs, recognizing photos or pictures and recognizing letters. Children are not even able to explain their problems properly. According to research, the epidemic has greatly affected the development of children. Not only this, boys have been affected more than girls.
Children born during the pandemic have been adversely affected both physically and mentally
According to Dr. Jaime Peterson, a pediatrician at the Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, USA, children born during the pandemic are facing a lot of physical and mental challenges. Pressure was put on the child not to go out to play. They have to wear masks, not to meet elders. They have been advised not to contact people around them. This has had a bad effect on the minds of children. On the other hand, children who were a little older were kept locked in the house for a long time during the pandemic. Due to which they lagged behind in mathematics. But the effect of this on children is quite surprising.
These are the reasons behind the lack of proper development of children’s brain:
Actually, during the Covid pandemic, the parents of the children were under stress and depression. Social distancing was being followed among the people. During this time, the screen time of the children increased a lot due to being locked in the house. The children did not even go out of the house to play. At the time when the child’s brain develops rapidly, they were locked inside the house.
