Young Children Life Affected from COVID-19 in the Aspect of Psychological Perspective

Abstract

Due to the global pandemic of the COVID-19 virus, schools have been shuttered and parents and guardians are now responsible for providing their children's education. Like in other ways, this is one way in which the crisis will disproportionately hurt young children lives. Not compromising with isolation has caused anxiety for both parents and the children. Children are affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic psychologically. They face stress, uncertainty, massive changes in their regular lifestyle, and feelings of separation from friends and family, and a significant amount of pressure on the parents. The pandemic also affected the socio- emotional, physical activity, and family constellation in young children's lives. They caused many psychological problems. It's understandable that parents would do anything they could to protect their children from distress and grief, including avoiding conversations about painful emotions and stressful situations. There were many different ways in which adolescents felt their relationships with family and friends had changed as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions. It has both positive and negative effects on physical and mental health for all people, especially young children. The lockdown has shut down many businesses and caused universities and schools to close or shift their method of teaching to an online platform. The COVID has restricted children to their homes, and this isolation has caused certain negative impacts on their mental health. We believe that improving mental health services, especially those for children and adolescents, should be a central part of any comprehensive, society strategy to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
