Space for Reflection, Tracing the Problems and Facing the FutureChildren all over the world shared similar, but not identical, experiences during the past year.The most common and most noticeable effects of covid-19 were school closures and lockdowns, where siblings, parents and other household members stayed at home day in and day out.Physical relationships and interactions with friends and relatives were restricted or completely banned for weeks and months.The toll on some children was even greater.Life for children in detention or children with parents in detention was exceptionally hard, as physical contact was banned for months and replaced by 'virtual visits' .Children who share their time between two households, usually following parental separation, could not always move from one home to the other, experiencing disruption of their care and relationships.Regulations in some countries have tried to mitigate this disruption, with different level of success.International border clousres have meant that, for some children, family separation is the new living reality.The children of those who migrate for work or other reasons are no strangers to family separation, but they have been adversely impacted in different ways as illustrated in Kohso and Noor's contribution.Other children have lost their parent(s), grandparent(s) or other family members, and research, from a children's rights perspective, will be needed on the impact that this has had on them.Life after covid will be different for diverse groups of children.As we write this Editorial, children in some parts of Europe are beginning to return to school after nearly 15 months at home, while for children in New Zealand and Australia lockdowns are a distant memory.In many countries in South America, India and Africa, the end of lockdown is not yet in sight as new
