School is often known to be the second home for children. This place plays a chief
role in inculcating values in a child. The fact of not being physically present at school
has its own benefits and drawbacks. A child’s value of being disciplined, punctual,
compassionate about the knowledge that is being shared, performing a team task and
many more have taken a back seat which has resulted in low social and emotional
intelligence of the child. The present study purposes to highlight the social, academic
and emotional learning pattern of the child through descriptive method and bring out
the issues that the child faces in the current situation due to online learning mode along
with their parents’ perspective. The online discussions were conducted for parents and
their school going children. Earlier researches have established that a socially and
emotionally strong child has a better understanding of academics and achieves higher.

household and the school are where the emotions of the child develop and are made
stronger. The outcome of the present study indicate that the child and the parents are
dissatisfied with the quality of online learning, the social, academic and emotional
growth of the child has been affected which would have been stable during physical
mode of learning. Results have also directed that online exam have enabled incorrect
