Why kids behave ‘worse’ while learning from home

A Harvard study has found parents reported their children behaving “worse” while learning from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The study, which started tracking a group of families in 2017 – before the pandemic – documented a shift in behaviour from children.

Dr Emily Hanno, postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, said the parents found their children to be more irritable or angry while learning from home.

She said the finding wasn’t surprising, given instability and uncertainty naturally impacted behaviour in children.

“It’s not just the remote learning, itself, that is the problem,” she explained on 3AW Breakfast.

“It’s the instability and uncertainty that comes with it and the stress it poses for families and the broader public health conditions we are facing when remote learning is on the table.”
