As we near the one-year anniversary of the pandemic and associated social distancing measures, kids and parents alike are grieving the end of how our lives used to be. It doesn t even matter how dramatically kids lives have changed, experts say. The fact that disruption has become normalized is traumatizing enough.
Leslie Forde, founder of Mom s Hierarchy of Needs, a think tank in Boston that researches how mothers can reduce stress and prioritize self-care, has surveyed or interviewed more than 1,600 families about the effects of the pandemic on school-age children since Covid-19 began. Our brains are sick of it, Forde said. There s a certain amount of disconnect between what happened when we suddenly pulled kids out of school and thought it was temporary to where we are today. I don t think anyone has healed from or reconciled that disconnect. I think it s been hardest on our kids.
