Lack of physical activity, significantly increased screen time, and disrupted social life have considerably impacted children's lives during the pandemic.
The findings of a study conducted by Fortis Hospitals Mumbai between August and October 2021 reveal that 95 per cent of parents believe that the pandemic has impacted their kids' physical, emotional, mental, and social growth. Doctors agree that it's a matter of concern but say that children also show a lot of more resilience in comparison to adults.
For the study, teams at Fortis Hospital, Mulund and Kalyan, Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi, and SL Raheja Hospital, Mahim, reached out to about 8,000 parents from the city, wanting to understand the impact of the pandemic on their children's wellbeing.
