Yes it does and therefore it is important to focus on mental and social wellbeing, even more in the current pandemic situation. The PERMA model is very helpful: Positive emotion; engagement; relationships, meaning and accomplishments. In this time it is necessary to promote positive emotion in online classroom environment and at home. There needs to be engagement for children. Our familial relationships are our greatest strength so spending time with family and finding meaning in our lives is crucial. Lastly it is great to celebrate small accomplishments even if that is being able to clean the house, finishing a book or getting some stars in classwork!
