   Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:

   Limitations: An important limitation of our study is the fact that we used an online, convenience sample, which is not representative of the population studied. It has been argued that non-representative samples attract volunteers who are already well engaged, interested in the topic, who can access the internet, while those excluded, for instance individuals with severe mental illness, are often those most in need.41 Therefore, our findings cannot be interpreted as an overall prevalence of psychopathology among children in the general population. However, our results indicate that individuals with various types of vulnerabilities are at higher risk for negative outcomes of the current crisis. Given the argument that vulnerable populations may have been excluded from our surveys, it could be expected that the real impact of COVID-19 pandemic could be of greater magnitude for specific population sub-groups. Another limitation of our study is the fact that we used only parental reports. However, we collected our data during the lockdown and there were only limited opportunities to use more subjective measures of children’s characteristics and difficulties. Additionally, the online nature of the design of our study presented significant difficulties for the use of children as informants, especially for younger children that were the majority in our sample.
