👋 Well there's a blast from the past. Still smiling when I see familiar names on threads.
Life is gloriously normal. 
Interestingly I've returned to working in education after a very long break now my DCs are growing up and in the secondary years. Back in 2020/21, my then 7yo really struggled with the loss of friendship in lockdown and to re-make friendships. He's doing well now, but it's interesting looking at his cohort and how under-developed their social skills are.
It's not just 2020, it's continued screen use, but that was accelerated into that age group by the months of being denied access to school and peer socialising across that KS1-2 transition and the age when friendships become more focused and selective. It's not just our school, it's across the whole city. There's also the layer of SEN diagnostic and support services never having caught up and loss of timely interventions. A lot of it is lack of funding ever since, but the whole issue was severely aggravated by the way children and their education were treated then.
The children coming into my youth group now were lockdown toddlers and their parents tend to be more anxious and the children socially younger. Again there's wider social shifts, but that disruption in early parenting has had a long term impact. There's often a difference in families that had older pre-Covid siblings, more stark than the usual 2nd+ parenting/ PFB divide.
DS is in the fortunate position of us being able to throw time and money at supporting him, but so many thousands aren't and they've been set on rougher life paths than was necessary.
