[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Educator of 26 years, mom of 5 - we will be seeing COVID consequences for YEARS in our classrooms. We are no way “far enough removed” when COVID trauma hit and our kids were surrounded with stress during critically important periods of emotional development. Our COVID babes are now in K/1st. Our COVID K’s are in 5th/6th. Many didn’t have early preschool or normal socialization. I am seeing every grade impacted and statistically having more social and challenging behaviors. All teachers need more support because of this and no one is talking about it. Please don’t downplay the effects COVID had on many developing kids and how classroom dynamics can be affected.

OP here and I honestly don’t know if COVID played into it. Maybe? These would be kids who likely didn’t have as much but I would think many of them could have had some pre-k at least (my kid did). But I have wondered if there’s been a delay in diagnosis for some of these kids? Or these are kids who spent a huge chunk of their toddler years in front of iPads because their parents were trying to work without child care. I don’t know but the end result is still affecting my kid. Private school would be a real stretch for us financially but we will have to look into it if things stay like this.[/quote]
