Mental health indicators of children from 6 to 71 months and their caregivers, and their associated factors, are described during the pandemic context. The information was collected through an ad hoc survey answered by 59,113 caregivers from the 24 departments and the constitutional province of Peru. A significant presence of externalizing behavior problems was reported in boys and girls. 8 out of 10 caregivers reported one or two indicators of anxiety, and around 2 out of 10 caregivers reported feeling stressed on many occasions and be alone in their parenting role. Practical implications for childhood interventions and parenting support are discussed based on the results.

The COVID-19 pandemic meant great stress and challenges for schools. In this context, distributed leadership emerged as a timely and relevant approach to understanding the changes that the school must adopt. In this research, through semi-structured interviews carried out with directors of 5 schools, we delved into how the pandemic was faced, the actions that were carried out, who was involved, the learning and projections. The results show that teachers and the psychosocial team appeared as relevant actors. The link with parents and students, who require socio-emotional or technical support associated with the use of the virtual teaching and learning methodology, appeared as another relevant aspect.
