Evidence grows of lockdown harm to the young. But we act as if nothing happened | Martha Gill

Photograph: James Veysey/Rex/ShutterstockPhotograph: James Veysey/Rex/Shutterstockt a university reunion recently, my friends and I cornered the dean in charge of pastoral care and tried to make him tell us how much cooler we had been than students these days. We had heard they had no sex, did no drugs, never went out, spent all day in the library and all night applying for internships with accountancy firms. We must have been so difficult to control, we said, in a smug, self-satisfied way.

Parents spoke heartbreakingly of having to tell toddlers to stay away from others and not to hug their friends When former evacuees were in their 60s and 70s, there was a study on their mental health. Those who had been youngest when they were sent away suffered the worst effects. Will today’s four- to six-year-olds still have problems when they are 70? We need to raise the possibility that they will.did some interesting experiments on baby monkeys. One group was separated from their mothers at birth and raised for five months in a “nursery” of other baby monkeys.

Difficult times call for difficult measures, decisions and personal sacrifice. We seem to have to pander to many groups etc, least of all pathetic anti vaxxers. In this instance I just wonder what contribution parents are making to ameliorating these types of situations

Told you so but you guys loved lock downs.

Treating your pet like a child might be bad for you, and themDog behaviour specialist Faith Wild says close bonds with our pets have been exacerbated due to the time we spent with them during COVID lockdowns. This article is rubbish! Well, that's what my dog says anyway. If you’re a fully integrated, well adjusted, sane, kind human being, no problem. But if you’re like most of us and prone to irrational moods & the occasional bad mood or you carry a lot of unresolved fear & anxiety (i.e you’re pretty average), don’t smother your dog (with it.) My nearly 3yr old dog child says go fuck yourself
