Pandemics can be random, with the differences between viruses victims make them attack and those who maintain it. If you are a man, you will too. COVID-19 was different, especially when it comes to age. The disease has shown a special animus for older people with whom 65-plus considered a particularly high risk of hospitalization and death, and those of 18 control and under the semblance of an epidemiological break. Although a small percentage of young people who suffered the most severe cases, most of the contract is not at all the disease in this age group most likely to be milder symptoms or no experience. But if COVID-19 points to save most of the children, it is not so friendly to their heads. No one is immune to the stress that comes with a pandemic and associated quarantine. However, children may be at particular risk. Life in a universe that is already out of their control, they can be particularly shocked if the truths are in their lives, she to die to give the rituals the world that day to dayness to live in air-get blown up. “I am concerned that children a double blow,” says Ezra Golberstein, a health policy researcher at the University of Minnesota. “There is the same disease and the fear of him. On top of that, you either lock-down, away with children from the school environment and their friends.” When summer came, many of the 12,000 camps in United States moved or their seasons or cease, secrete more children. “Especially for children Predis-set the world on pessimistic to see who is more afraid, because they are so much more feeling out of control,” said Mary Alvord, one Maryland psychologist specializing in children and co-author of Resilience Builder Program for children and adolescents. “We hear kids say, ‘I am afraid for myself, for my parents. What happens if you get sick?” “Now that the next school year approaching, there is more uncertainty, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention diseases (CDC) has issued guidelines for schools to analyze the comparative risks of infection for three different scenarios. All training distance learning (which he calls “low risk”), a little ‘distance learning with InPerson lessons and social distancing (mix “more risk”), and resumes full-time recording ( “high risk”), it is impossible to say which countries decide that approaches it. also the massive school systems Los Angeles and San Diego announced that the school year with the training-just a decision away starting off even quarantined for 825,000 students. certainly will not be the only ones. for now there is a lack of hard research on how the pandemic affecting children sal Mental ute, particularly because the virus as fast moving and studies a bit ‘Ze will last. What data there is worrying. In a study from China, published in JAMA Pediatrics researchers in Hubei province, where the pandemic has emerged, tested a sample of 2,330 students for signs of emotional stress. Children were blocked, leading to put Americans tired quarantine, as a relatively short time average, 33.7 days seems likely. Even after this month alone, 22.6% of them reported depressive symptoms and 18.9% had experienced fear. Even then there are other ill victims of the pandemic: the economy, which is struggling badly. In a 2018 paper Golberstein and his co-authors published in Health Economics, the economic conditions in the US have studied from 2001 to 2013 and found that during the Great Recession, an increase of 5-percent-age of the national unemployment rate It correlated with a surprising 35% to 50% increase in “clinically significant childhood mental disorders.” Now, with unemployment at 11% ‘height more than 3.6% in January-Golberstein expect more of the same emotional backlash to see. “When the economy is in a bad place, the mental health of children will be worse,” he says. “This time it will be much worse, because it is also a pandemic.” Lisa Stanton lives in Houston with her husband and their nine years fraternal twins. Both parents are busy and have to work from home, although Stanton husband was able to go back on its on-site job as a property manager and both the children were out of school. shutters with their summer camp for the season, the children were related to housing and home environment has grown … challenging. “I see 100% more behavior problems,” says Stanton. “My son, the problems are learning has three collapses a day. With my daughter the research problem for the iPad was. You have created a TikTok account and [alias] an older girl. We took away tablet, and there was hysterical. he told us, I’d be all the time in the tray as [if] I felt I’m not so alone. “” loneliness is common in the block, separate the children from their friends. But all children are not emotionally by the pandemic are just as insecure or even at all;. COVID-19 will take effect at various levels and in different ways Roxane Cohen silver, a social psychologist at the University of California, Irvine, who specializes in human reactions to trauma mass and is most likely investigated the September 11 in the US and the 2006 and 2010 earthquakes in Indonesia and Chile. even though no one in any culture is doing particularly well in a time of such tragedy silver found that most people s Tretti both the crisis are on a geographically and personally the greatest impact. People in New York and Washington, DC, has had more acute reactions to 9/11 as more people from terrorist attacks far. The crown is applied in the same way some people harder than others. “The impact on the dependent child of a sense of security about the extent to which it affected the family,” says Silver. “If there is a leak, or if the family has a drastic change in their economic consequences, this event would make the vision of the world of children.” Is it to prevent the loss of personnel in one location is not the same as fear before avoided and children are very well aware of what is at stake. “I have a grandmother and a grandfather who were very old, and they can infect and may die,” he said four years, Benjy taksa of Houston, in a very short interview Mother monitored over time time. Lisa taksa, Benjy’s mother says her son would otherwise not afraid appears on the pandemic, and to the extent it does, will find ways to cope. “In her play, I hear you say: ‘This bears go to the museum, and has to wear his mask,'” he says. Another variable is whether a child is in crisis with pre-existing mental disorders. In the US, 7.1% of children in the 3-to-17-year-old was diagnosed with anxiety, according to the CDC. A further 3.2% in the same age group suffer from depression. Then there’s the 7.4% with behavioral problems diagnosed and 9.4% with ADHD. Silver noted that the emergency followed the aftermath of 9/11, the youth level, if they had a history of these conditions. Other experts expect that repeated pattern because COVID-19 to see. “Children who struggled before [pandemic] a higher risk now,” says psychologist Robin Gurwitch, a professor at Duke University Medical Center. “We must be careful to children who already were in mental health services; We must be sure sure that the services must not be disturbed.” Adults and children can go to therapy with their own mental health professionals right before zooming or their sessions without interruption of Skype treatment. But some children do not have a chance. is published in an editorial in JAMA Pediatrics in April, Golberstein and his co-authors reported receiving some form of mental health services in schools in the last 12 months, according to an analysis of 2014 data, 13.2% of young people (a figure which today is more or less). Their further analysis of data from 2012 to 2015 showed that they get all the mental health services, 57% achieved a part of it between all the students of the school, while 35% received all there. close with schools, so is the maintenance. And, at present, there is no guarantee that the schools will be reopened in the fall. “I’m worried about what he’s doing this for the kids,” says Golberstein. “The extent to which they are able to access mental health care is always a challenge. There is a shortage of long-standing, and is worse with closures of schools.” The age can also be an important factor in sons successes pandemic be as difficult emotionally. Very young children may not notice, otherwise, other than his parents did not go to work, as this may seem upside down. “For the younger children are seen with their full-time parents as a plus,” says Silver. But even the youngest children have acute twitchy antennas when it comes around to read the mood of the elderly anxious. Environmental stress in a family locked down, annoy parents could support, and everything disinfected, children’s movement will not go unnoticed. “In very young children, you might be See more clinginess” says Gurwitch. “Children have more difficulty sleeping. In children who are potty trained, you can see the regression and accidents. This is not,” he adds, a recipe for a simple or joy. ‘For schoo and youth camp to be with their parents, and the disadvantage of being with friends, everything. In the case of pandemic that important socialization is not in question. Silver Points attention on the fact that one of the things that Americans rebound after the 9/11 attacks helped was a kind of meeting-exactly what the company can not go much cultural. “People gathered and went to their churches, and there were the monuments,” he says. “They may be restricted for children, at a time of meeting with friends longer want to spend time with them this event is very different from others.” If there is one thing that is on the young minds about the impact of the pandemic safe, it is that doing to spread COVID-19 itself, is to stop. For parents and other caregivers the means to alleviate the problem, fix it all. An important step: choose again to the media, especially television news. Thomas Cooper, professor of media ethics at Emerson College in Boston, sees an important precedent in the coverage of the attacks of September 11, and it bothers him. “During 9/11 we discovered that the prime-time coverage of aircraft flying in the construction of the World Trade Center with people from windows has led to something turns up what might be called the emotional poisoning,” he says. “They Were seeing people again and again and again and again, and it was kind of totally demoralizing effect. When you hear about COVID-19 again and again and again and again, all of this leads to a way of emotional poisoning.” As for the coverage a house should allow, in turn, it depends upon age. “Littles’sollte are not exposed to this at all,” says Gurwitch. “Do not think that if they play draw or play a game with you, while you are watching TV, they do not hear.” For older children who have a greater sense of impending crisis, still recommends Gurwitch TV limited diet. More importantly, they argued for open communication when parents ask their children what they know or think they know, when correcting wrong and confirm their fears. Thinking precautions such as social distancing as ways behave proactively can also help children regain some ‘sense of control. “It can be designed, That’s what we do our families safe and keep others safe, and make sure that health care workers should not worry about us’,” says Gurwitch. Finally, the pandemic is its place in the canon the national trauma takes, in addition to 9.11, the Challenger disaster and the assassination of Kennedy. younger generation from the screw down crown now has the same conversations with their colleagues as they do-you-remember older-and where-are-you- if the exchange as previous generations have had on those other tragedies. for some, the memory of a personal pain. the goal is for parents and professionals and other health professionals is to help relieve the pain, which is now longer able to bear children, so that the memories are. this appears in the August 3, 2020 edition of time.
