Hi everyone, It's Friday or as some say, Fri-yay!
Today we want to share some additional research info with you and it is based on US data for the past year. Essentially, the desire was to understand how children and families have been coping since the onset of Covid-19.
Recently, KidsData released the latest data from the "Family Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic" questionnaire. These data are the second wave of findings from the multi-wave questionnaire.
As the COVID-19 pandemic passed the one-year mark, caregivers in households with children reflected on their experiences in:
1. Education, Health Care, and Social Activities
2. Economic Security
3. Supportive Services
4. Emotional and Behavioral Health
5. Child and Caregiver Safety
6. Adverse Childhood Experiences
7. Positive Childhood Experiences
8. Caring for Children With Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN)
A couple interesting highlights are:-
Child and Caregiver Safety:
Almost one-quarter (23%) of caregivers reported spanking, slapping, or hitting their child at least once in the last seven days. One-third (33%) of caregivers reported physical or emotional intimate partner violence during the pandemic.
Positive Childhood Experiences:
A higher percentage of African American/Black caregivers reported that their child had a caring adult outside the home (94%) than White (82%) and Hispanic/Latino (79%) caregivers.
The article and study make for good reading over the weekend so dig in at the link below.
