And if they drop, teachers and parents should be vigilant for symptoms of the virus. Other than that, an expert says the mental effect of lockdown on children varies. Some had a rosy experience, while some advanced. A mother of three from Buckinghamshire reported her children's behavior has deteriorated, having more tantrums and challenges at bedtimes. Her son used to walk to school every day but now has no motivation to go out. Another Mom of 4 boys said her eldest changed so much. He doesn't go out for a walk anymore, while her nine-year-old hates inside since he hasn't been socializing with his friends anymore. Meanwhile, her six-year-old feels like it's going to be his first day at school once more.
