“…Previous studies suggested that routines and rituals in families could provide stability and continuity during period of stress and promote the strength and solidarity of the family [42,43]. Studies on children believed that routine is critical in the establishment of their sense of stability and feelings of security [44,45], by offering the predictability in the environment [46]. Besides, a recently study argued that part of the protective functions of the family adaptive system can be achieved through daily routines and rituals [47], which in turn would promote family resilience when family members are facing risks or difficulties.…”

On 8 April 2020, the Chinese government lifted the lockdown and opened up public transportation in Wuhan, China, the epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic. After 76 days in lockdown, Wuhan residents were allowed to travel outside of the city and go back to work. Yet, given that there is still no vaccine for the virus, this leaves many doubting whether life will indeed go back to normal. The aim of this research was to track longitudinal changes in motivation for self-isolating, life-structured, indicators of well-being and mental health after lockdown was lifted. We have recruited 462 participants in Wuhan, China, prior to lockdown lift between 3 and 7 April 2020 (Time 1), and have followed up with 292 returning participants between 18 and 22 April 2020 (Time 2), 284 between 6 and 10 May 2020 (Time 3), and 279 between 25 and 29 May 2020 (Time 4). This four-wave study used latent growth models to examine how Wuhan residents' psychological experiences change (if at all) within the first two months after lockdown was lifted. The Stage 1 manuscript associated with this submission received in-principle acceptance (IPA) on 2 June 2020. Following IPA, the accepted Stage 1 version of the manuscript was preregistered on the OSF at https://osf.io/g2t3b. This preregistration was performed prior to data analysis. Generally, our study found that: (i) a majority of people still continue to value self-isolation after lockdown was lifted; (ii) by the end of lockdown, people perceived gradual return to normality and restored structure of everyday life; (iii) the psychological well-being slightly improved after lockdown was lifted; (iv) people who used problem solving and help-seeking as coping strategies during lockdown had better well-being and mental health by the end of the lockdown; (v) those who experienced more disruptions in daily life during lockdown would display more indicators of psychological ill-being by the end of the lockdown.

“…Measures have used self-report formats (e.g., Child Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment; King et al, 2006), which may be problematic for children with ASD because of social communication limitations. Some tools measure participation in a limited number of activities (e.g., Participation in Childhood Occupations Questionnaire; Bar-Shalita, Yochman, Shapiro-Rihtman, Vatine, & Parush, 2009) or assess activities that occur in one context (e.g., Child Routines Inventory, Sytsma, Kelley, & Wymer, 2001;Children Helping Out: Responsibilities, Expectations, and Supports, Dunn, 2004). Additionally, measures that require an interview with a caregiver (e.g., Preschool Activity Card Sort, Berg & LaVesser, 2006) may not be feasible for large sample research.…”
