Did children suffer educational setbacks in the UK because of Co
vid-19 Lockdowns? Maybe...

SUMMARY - A study has linked Covid-19 lockdowns in the United
Kingdom causing a rise in children and toddlers having speech
and developmental issues. The study cites that a main cause for
the increase was "“reduced social interaction and reduced
attendance at early learning and childcare settings”. However,
the study also warns that other co-founding factors, such as
parental financial stability and their mental health, may also
have a significant role.

Just to stimulate thought and play the devil’s advocate here… It
will be Interesting to compare this study with studies of
toddlers and children who weren’t locked down and caught covid.
It will further prove interesting to see what long term
repercussions and long term impact the physical health and
mental health truly are for children and toddlers who get
infected and/ or get repeatedly infected with covid.
Not to dismiss these studies as important, I tend to think it’s
hard to reverse the ill effects of a disease as compared to
reversing the psychological impacts or trauma of staying safe
through through certain forms of strategic isolation or the
stigma some of society society might inflict upon one another
for taking precautions such as masking and not getting infected
by disease …
…to me I’d rather choose dealing with the trauma of having
protected my loved ones from getting the disease in the first
place rather than to have to deal with the trauma of my kid
actually having to deal long covid.
Time will tell as these studies persist and continue.

P.S. school itself actually caused me me a great deal of grief
and trauma as a child.. I am somewhat of an advocate of
homeschooling especially during pandemics. I believe in
education but I also envision a lot of change and reform that
could make public schools a lot better!
There were after school fistfights held by children for children
at my school.. children can be cruel.. it was like “lord of the
flies”..
.. gotta say at my school there was lots of battles with self
esteem and in later years of schooling plenty of peer pressure
to use drugs alcohol and tobacco.. nothing was more
traumatizing than bringing a report card home for many of us.
Regardless , I wouldn’t feel too guilty for isolating your kid
from catching covid which might prove to carry many long term
health repercussions.. you may have saved your kid from early
onset dementia or something … don’t feel guilty for taking
precautions protecting yourself or loved ones from a disease!
Better safe than sorry when it comes to viruses that may prove
less forgiving than we previously thought.
Is it ‘traumatic’ defending yourself from a disease!? I suppose
it is a traumatic experience to defend oneself or one’s family
from a disease that can maim, kill, and give people
disabilities. Those are the times we live in. To me it’s worth
the trauma and the trouble of defending yourself and your loved
ones from a disease.
To me it was traumatic watching on the news all the funeral
pyres in India and all the bodies killed by the delta variant.
All that crying and all those tears and the smoking bodies!
Hordes of people carrying the dead around on their backs …That
was traumatic .. made ‘isolation’ sound like a vacation and a
paradise only for the highly privileged. For If I am not
incorrect the body count and lack of places to have funerals for
covid victims was happening in India when the “lockdowns “ were
taking place for the British schoolchildren.
