I'm not following why if kids are happy homeschooling and socializing on popular video games is a negative? If your kids experienced only a month of lockdowns returning to normal would make them absolutely better. What if you were locked down for the entire year or two? After your kids get use to it they might respond differently.

Many kids, including our three, would be perfectly happy if they didn't have to do any schoolwork ever again. During the worst lockdown period here our middle child got 45 mins "online" with his teacher each day, and apart from that, he was on his own. Two working parents, with two (allegedly) full-time jobs. As the saying goes, "do the math"... Far too much TV was watched. Far too much youtube too. Far too much Minecraft was played. For the kids this was Just Fine(!) For us parents, not so much.
