Parents answered the questions “How did you experience the atmosphere at home before the Corona regulations?” and “How do you experience the atmosphere at home now?” Children answered the questions: “How did you experience atmosphere at home before the schools were closed?” and “How do you experience the atmosphere at home now?” Answers were given on a visual analog scale (range 0–100).
