As Covid-19 pandemic continues to expand all over the world, only one thing is certain: the
current outbreak will have profound impact not only in the health and economic situation but
also on the psychosocial well-being of societies across nations.
In the current context of lock down and restriction of movements, children have constrained access
to socialization, play, and even physical contact, critical for their psychosocial wellbeing and
development. School closures are preventing children from access to learning and limiting their
interactions with peers. Children may feel confused and at loss with the current situation, leading to
frustration and anxiety, which will only increase with the overexposure to mass and social media,
specially among adolescents. Some adults may struggle to find ways to explain and communicate with
children about the current situation in a way that is understandable by this age group, which will add
frustration and disquietude.
COVID-19 is also bringing new stressors on parent and learners. This can hamper their capacity to
provide care and remain engaged with their children. Being very keen observers of people and
environments, children will notice, absorb and react to the stress in their caregivers and community
members, which unavoidably will affect their well-being.
Adulthood is also critical period in any human’s life, which marks the foundation of the personality
and emotional resilience’s capacity of any person. In this difficult time, let’s all commit to mitigate the
effects of COVID-19 on those whom deserve the most protection: the learners.
