General Problems in families facing covid-19 Lockdown

◦ The novel corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic impacted everyone, some more drastically
than others. Not only have individuals and families been dealing with threats to their health
from COMID-19 itself by trying to avoid and survive infection, but there have also been so
many special meanings for families. For most families which participated in the surv ey, it
meant making big changes in ev eryday routines due to financial hardships, closure of
schools and colleges, dealing with quarantine or loss of family member.
◦ In the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, social isolation, school/child care closures and
employment instability had created unprecedented conditions for families raising children at
home. Coping with “new normal” was challenging for all. Lockdown altered lifestyles and
disrupted the enjoyment of living in a society.
◦ For almost all families, lockdown meant that many parents were unable to go to work due to
temporary closure of their workplaces. School closures resulted in children moving overnight
to distance learning. Many homes turned into over-populated multifunctional places 24/7,
with both positive and negative impacts on relationships. Homes functioned simultaneously
as school, office and living space, parents were finding themselves in a bind.
◦ The children who were at boarding school enjoyed their prolonged stay at home with family
their family members, doing gardening and maintenance work around the house, and
helping younger siblings to manage their schoolwork. While some children occasionally
became frustrated with their siblings and conflicts developed. About a third of the children
reported an increase in anxiety and tension in relationships at home.
 Parents stress in covid lockdowns

◦ Parents who report finding taking care of their children’s learning, finding space and time for
themselves, the partner, the children, and for the activities they used to do before the
lockdown more difficult, were more stressed. Even though parents now had more time for
their children, the pressure to juggle multiple roles was stressful and they were unable to
devote time to parenting. More stressed parents found it more difficult to understand their
child’s needs and to respond in a sensitive way. Thus, children in these families felt less
understood by their parents and reacted in more negative and aggressive ways. As children
remained confined to their homes during the pandemic, they were unable to meet their
friends, play outdoors or enjoy an ev ening in the park, as a result, they got stressed and
misbehaved to vent out their frustration.
◦ It has been observed that COVID-19 situation reported a high presence of psychological
distress such as depression, stress, irritability, and post-traumatic stress symptoms associated
with quarantine.
◦ The closure of schools further multiplied problems for parents because parents were left
alone dealing with their children’s education and learning. The Covid-19 pandemic had
made parents the de facto home school teachers and tuition teachers. Unfortunately, they
found it difficult to keep their children on track and help them with assignments. The difficulty
became multifold if the children happened to be in different grades. Ensuring that children
attend the online classes as per the timetable, complete their homework and send it to the
teacher and prepare for the next day’s class had been a cause of worry for many parents.
Impact of covid lockdown on the routine of families

◦ It has also been observed that COVID-19 pandemic influenced family routines,
relationships and technology use (smart phones and tablet computers) among families
with school going children. As the pandemic dragged on and the burden of household
and professional work continued to increase, parents were neglecting their normal
daily routines. As a result, children followed the same haphazard habits and routines.

◦ It had become especially difficult for parents to maintain a strict routine for their
children, with fixed times for meals, studying and sleeping. In the current situation,
parents were unable to restore structure and as a result, children lost interest in
everything and became aggressive. Low income group families found it difficult to
provide devices to their children for attending online classes. Many a time children
failed to attend online classes resulting in learning losses.
Financial Life during Covid-19 Pandemic:
◦ Household income in India was drastically impacted due to the coronavirus (COVID-19)
lockdown as o April 12, 2020. Covid-19 forced 30% of families into financial hardships
and threw them off their feet, impacting their ability to pay the rent, buy groceries, pay
bills, access needed healthcare service and see their way through a crisis.. About 30%
families had to cut down their expenses as some family members lost jobs or had their
salaries slashed. 20% families were forced to borrow money from their relatives or take
loans for their daily expenditure. It was harrowing time for families living on rent as the
landlords wanted rent on time and served eviction notices to tenants who were unable
to pay on time. The poor sections of society were worst hit. The low-income group,
whose monthly income was less that Rs 15,000 suffered the most due to such
unplanned expenses as they did not have adequate savings to cope up and this
pushed them into further financial crisis. It has been observed that 30 percent of
respondents from medium income group lost a job or income due to COVID-19. Most
of these job or income losses were due to being furloughed or experiencing reduced
work hours. The people in retail business were worst affected due closure of shops and
reduced sales. Over 82% of small businesses had experienced a negative impact, and
70% believe it will take them nearly a year to recover demand levels prior to covid-19.
Corona has not spared anyone. Even the richer households suffered losses
Health Behavior of Families during Covid-19 Lockdown

Total Sample Studies-250

◦ Corona Pandemic has negatively influenced
people's general health and quality of life.
Physical activities, personal contact with
colleagues, friends and family have been limited
due to public health measures to curb the spread
of COVID-19, such as quarantine, lockdown, self-
isolation, and maintaining social distance. People
experienced a general decline in well-being
deterioration in mental health, and an increase in
psychological distress such as stress, aradety
depression, and feelings of isolation. The change
in eating habits of people was also observed
during Covid lockdowns. On a general level, the
participants consumed more food as they had
more time, quicker access to food and greater
stress levels. As people increased snacking and
number of meals in a dry, this led to weight gain of
many people, making them prone to heart des
and diabetes.
Report:

◦ A virtual survey was administered by me to understand the effects of COVID-19 on

families belonging to different strata of society in my city, New Delhi. The data were
collected via an online survey between 15 December to 31 December 2021. Some
interviews were also carried out online or by telephone. A few interviews took place
face-to-face observing social distancing rules. The interview frame was very simple: the
families were asked what had changed in their lives compared to the situation pre-
lockdown, what had improved or got worse. In this report, I have endeavored to
provide valuable insights into the cumulative effects of the pandemic, as it progressed,
on family life in my city.
Conclusion:
◦ In the end, COVID-19 has disrupted our entire society, caused the unfortunate deaths
of many of our co-citizens, and led to a different way of dealing with our personal
finances in many households. The pandemic will pass soon. However, the true test of
time is how well we are able to navigate it and help our children stay positive and
healthy. This is a time for love, support and care as we stretch to help our young ones
learn and grow and, perhaps, even equip them with the necessary skills to prepare
them for the future.
