With contributions from Christopher Arnold, Lauren Baggley, Emily Barrett, Kate Boyle, Sea?n Cameron, Brian Davis, Becca Dove, Richard McGuire Devine, Stefania Donati, Xavier Eloquin, Tim Fisher, Jennifer Greene, Richard Lewis, Lesley Osler, Anne Powell-Davies, Elizabeth Roberts, Stephanie Satariano, Nicole Schnackenberg, Sarah Sivers, Bryan Walsh, Aime?e Webster, Sarah Wendland, and Abigail Wright. Children in Lockdown: Learning the Lessons of Pandemic Times acknowledges the constant change and adaptation that was required in real time and the reverberations that continue today. It provides the basis for a start to the discussion about the effects of Covid-19 on families and everyone involved with 'school life'. International contributions from children, parents, teachers, educational psychologists, and social workers include observations from the UK, Singapore, South Africa, and the USA; stories from children, parents, social workers, and family support workers; and application of a wide range of theory, including psychodynamics, organisational change models, crisis management, and neuropsychology. The book's inclusion of surveys and case studies will appeal to professionals and those working with children and young people in education and communities. The quality materials it contains from primary and secondary sources means it will be useful for students training to be educational psychologists, teachers, and social workers. The light it sheds on the ramifications for our young people will be helpful for parents and all who care for children and young people.

Industry Reviews

"A book of its time, which readers
will find of enormous value as communities move hopefully towards a post
pandemic era. A rich diversity of perspectives offers insight into the impact
on children and their families ... A must read for all those who work with
children and young people ..." - Andrea Higgins, former Programme Director,
Professional Doctorate Training in Educational Psychology, Cardiff University

"This accessible and scholarly book
invites new thinking about the COVID-19 pandemics effects on children ... It
should have wide appeal for teachers, psychologists, social workers and parents
or carers; in fact anyone who wants to support young people to flourish after
the pandemic. Highly recommended." - Dr Barley Birney, Head of Specialist
Inclusion Service and Principal Educational Psychologist, Barnet Education and
Learning Service

"Diverse voices from around the
world are freed from lockdown in this hugely important book. There is perceptive
information about past pandemics and present research on the impact on children
and carers ... Crucially, there are the voices of children ... There are multiple
lessons to be learnt from this book as we adjust to the new normal." - Dr
Mark Fox, Educational Psychologist

"Nelson Mandela said children were the rock on which to
build our nation. Hope is central to Children in Lockdown ... Hope because
COVID-19 centralised childrens needs, ... moving from
education to educating, addressing mental health issues and psychodynamics in
leadership." - David Wylde, Past President, International Confederation of
Principals
