Pandémie de COVID-19 : attachement, anxiété, régulation émotionnelle et stratégies de coping chez les enfants d’âge scolaire

Longitudinal Relationship between Children’s Emotion Dysregulation and Parent’s Negative Experience of the COVID-19 Lockdown in France

“…However, contrary to our hypothesis and previous works (Di Giorgio et al, 2021;Robertson et al, 2021), worse lockdown-related parental emotional experience at Time 1 did not predict worse children's emotional dysregulation at Time 2. This result was nevertheless similar to the cross-sectional study of Gherasim & Danet (2022), which showed no relationship between children's emotional regulation and the negative perceived impact of the pandemic in the parents. In that study, children's emotional regulation was related to the negative perceived impact of the pandemic in the children.…”

“…In that study, children's emotional regulation was related to the negative perceived impact of the pandemic in the children. Parents' and children's experience of lockdown and pandemic were associated in other studies (Gherasim & Danet, 2022;Shorer & Leibovich, 2020). It could thus have been interesting to investigate an indirect moderation of the relationship between lockdown-related parental emotional experience and children's emotional dysregulation by children's lockdown-related emotional experience.…”

“…Given the impacts of the pandemic on children's mental health (Gherasim & Danet, 2022;Jiao et al, 2020;Waite et al, 2021) and the way children's mental health may impact parental well-being, it seems important to implement interventions focusing on children functioning, especially regarding emotional regulation. Web-based interventions such as the REThink therapeutic game could be particularly relevant during the pandemic and after.…”

“…Studies run during prior pandemics also suggested that pandemic and lockdown experience in parents and children were related (Sprang & Silman, 2013). During the COVID-19 pandemic, Gherasim & Danet (2022) found a relationship between the reported psychological effect of the pandemic on parents and the schoolaged children's state anxiety. Similar results were found in a longitudinal study with one-month follow-up among parents of younger children (1 to 7 years old) (Robertson et al, 2021).…”

Feelings about School in Gifted and Non-Gifted Children: What Are the Effects of a Fine Art Program in Primary School?

“…A report by the French DEPP (Directorate of Evaluation, Foresight and Performance) based on seven surveys conducted in May 2020 shows that the system that was implemented allowed students to continue to benefit from learning; it was judged from fairly satisfactory to completely satisfactory (i.e., according to 77% of teachers) between the months of March and May 2020 [83]. However, this report does not take into account the effect of this situation on the functioning and psychological state of students, which it would nevertheless be interesting to consider in view of other studies that report less optimistic results [84,85], such as an increase in mood and sleep disorders [86]. Since the health crisis, the data also show an increase in consultations and hospitalizations in child psychiatry for adolescents aged 12 to 17 years [87], with a significant global upsurge in the development of mental illnesses in this population [85].…”
