Which is why it seems so weird to focus on lockdowns as the culprit, when there were so many other things that were a much larger impact. Beyond remote schooling, people also drastically reduced play time at parks, or playgrounds, or playdates. We attended a few drive by birthday parties as well. Many also lost childcare or employment. It’s a lot to try to account for. It makes the use of lockdowns as an excuse feel pretty forced.
