Caregivers' anxiety and perception of their children's wellbeing: a year into the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic and related social restrictions disrupted family routines affecting millions of youths and their caregivers worldwide. This study explored the relationship between caregivers' anxiety and their children's emotional states 1 year after COVID-19, as well as differences between caregivers' perceptions of their children's emotional states and reality.
