Babies born during the pandemic period, children who started school during the pandemic period, children who went to the next class during the pandemic period, children who could not go to kindergarten during the pandemic period, all of us are victims.
Children around the age of 2, born between 2020-2021... I meet a boy. Of course it's not my job (psychiatrists') to diagnose. I refer a child who raises even a trace amount of doubt to a psychiatrist. We are in a period that should not be overlooked. I make the fastest orientation possible with natural observation, family's explanations and the development tests I apply so that the child can start education without wasting time. On the parent side, there is a feeling of guilt, “Sir, did we do it”, “Did it happen because of us”, “We never took him out, he came to this age without seeing any children his age”, “We always sat him in front of the TV”, “We gave him the phone”...
A similar situation is the children who started school during the pandemic period and had to learn to read and write with online education. Confusing letters, difficulty reading and writing, mixing numbers, difficulty reading numbers, and a long list.
Only kids? We as adults have gone through very difficult times. We couldn't leave our homes, we couldn't hug our loved ones, we had relatives we lost during this period, those who lost their jobs, those who got married during this period, those who would start a new job and those who gave up... Remember; getting psychological support is not a sign of weakness, on the contrary, it is an indicator of the importance and awareness you give to yourself and your children.
I wish you a healthy day.
