I plan to replace the following sentence ("recent article published from India has observed a very high value of psychological distress in children due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, most (around 68%) of quarantined children showed some form of psychological distress which is much higher than the non-quarantined group, especially worry, fear, and helplessness.") that is currently in the article with my section in Impacts on Children because the one that is currently published uses a primary source, whereas mine cites a secondary source, which is more in line with Wikipedia's policies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PsychStudentS (talk • contribs) 20:46, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

WikiStudent11520_PsychStudentS_P3PR: Summary: The user would like to add a section about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on child mental health and another with recommendations for child carers. The user had also added a section on the long-term consequences of isolation measures to reduce COVID-19 transmission.

Major Points: The proposed edits are in a tone appropriate for a Wikipedia article. It is scholarly yet understandable to a layperson. The "Impact on Children" section can be bolstered with additional statistics from other sources to demonstrate the detrimental effects of COVID-19. The "Long-Term Consequences" can be made into a subsection of the "Impact on Children" section, as both cover similar ground.

Minor Points: The section about the impact on children should come before the section with recommendations so it makes sense to your audience. The proposed change made by the user is reasonable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiStudent11520 (talk • contribs) 16:54, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
