A marzo 2020 l’Italia è andata in lockdown per la diffusione della pandemia COVID-19. Diversi studi hanno mostrato come la pandemia ha effetti negativi sul benessere psicologico dei bambini. Questo studio ha indagato come i genitori possono promuovere il benessere psicologico dei bambini, per capire come aiutarli a gestire questa situazione senza precedenti. 277 genitori di bambini tra 6 e 10 anni hanno compilato una survey online. Le analisi MANCOVA mostrano che bambini con più ansia/depressione, più labilità/negatività e meno regolazione emotiva hanno genitori con più malessere psicologico, meno autoefficacia genitoriale e nella regolazione delle emozioni (tutte le p < .01). I genitori sono importanti fattori di protezione per la salute mentale dei figli durante il lockdown.
