Blog: Your Opinion in Action: Gaps in Social Skills for Students

What happens after you submit your survey responses? Where do your answers go? How is your opinion used? We want to answer these questions by sharing past examples of how your responses and opinions have influenced clients to make better business decisions.

One of our clients wanted to know if parents were concerned about their children experiencing gaps in social and relationship skills caused by a lack of peer interaction during the pandemic, so we asked you!

The data found that seven in ten (69%) parents are concerned that their child/youth has missed out on the opportunities to build their sense of belonging with their peers. This is highest among parents of male children/youth (73%) compared to those with female children/youth (65%). Only four in ten (42%) parents believe their child/youth will have enough opportunities post-pandemic to catch up on building their sense of belonging in their community to become healthy, thriving adults. This is highest among parents of male children/youth (44%) compared to those with female children/youth (39%).

Two thirds (64%) of parents are concerned that their child/youth has missed out on the opportunities to practice building healthy conflict resolution skills. Only four in ten (41%) parents believe their child/youth will have enough opportunities post-pandemic to catch up on building healthy conflict resolution skills to become healthy, thriving adults. This is highest among parents of male children/youth (45%) compared to those with female children/youth (38%).

Two thirds (62%) of parents are concerned that their child/youth has missed out on the opportunities to practice building confidence. This is highest among parents of female children/youth (66%) compared to those with male children/youth (59%). Only four in ten (40%) parents believe their child/youth will have enough opportunities post-pandemic to catch up on building their confidence to become healthy, thriving adults. This is highest among parents of female children/youth (43%) compared to those with male children/youth (37%).

Thanks to your responses, our client was able to gain valuable insight into parents’ opinions on their children’s social skills as a result of the pandemic.
