While children may not be clinically depressed, many have had a hard time coming to terms with not being able to meet their friends in school, they say. FMTNews Depression Kids MCO
Mental health experts say most children look forward to school and that the long break will affect them in different ways.
“Some children will be affected by the lack of contact with their friends and peers. How they cope depends on their interaction with their parents and other siblings,” said Zulkifli, who is also secretary-general of the Asia Pacific Paediatric Association.
“The lack of human contact has affected a lot of children. They are not depressed, but they are definitely affected by it. Children are supposed to go to school and make friends. They can do all the video calls in the world but at the end of the day, they need that human contact.” There is also another group of children who are eager to return to school because it gives them an opportunity to prove themselves by shining academically.“Some parents put pressure on them to perform, and these children want to prove themselves to their parents. The only way to do that is to get back to school.”
