[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand why the kids are behind academically. But why behaviorally? (Barring a special need) Did their parents not have any behavior expectations for a year and a half?[/quote]
Lots of anxiety and trauma.  It's been a really hard year. [b] I know several 8 yos who have melted down this year about other kids not wearing masks or who panicked being in a crowded situation.  [/b]

Behavior expectations in a group setting are also entirely different than at home.  [/quote]

This sounds like kids whose parents way overdid the lockdown thing and kept their kids isolated indoors for their supposed own good. It was possible to be cautious and sensible without going to extremes. Poor kids.[/quote]

. My family lost two older relatives (who my kids knew)  to Covid. I think we did a very good job of ensuring that they don’t have fear for themselves but the reality is families have been impacted by this directly it’s not just headlines for some kids.  They directly know people they loved who died. [/quote]
