“…The PGWB-S showed good internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient ranging from 0.80 to 0.92. In addition, we also considered items 3,4,8,11,14,17,19,22 to complete the anxiety, depression, and self-control scales. The scale-level correlation matrix with the PGWB anxiety, depression, self-control scales, and the total score of PGWB-S, considering our sample, is shown in Appendix A Table A1.…”

“…Such drastic changes, which include bans on a wide range of activities, school closures, travel restrictions, social distancing, and the rapid deterioration of local businesses, have generated a considerable amount of stress among the population. Stress during lockdown was also associated with amplified media coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with both the transformation of work and education models and substantial general lifestyle alterations for millions of people all over the world [4].…”

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has forced parents and children to adopt significant changes in their daily routine, which has been a big challenge for families, with important implications for family stress. In this study, we aimed to analyze the potential risk and protective factors for parents’ and children’s well-being during a potentially traumatic event such as the COVID-19 quarantine. Specifically, we investigated parents’ and children’s well-being, parental stress, and children’s resilience. The study involved 463 Italian parents of children aged 5–17. All participants completed an online survey consisting of the Psychological General Well Being Index (PGWB) to assess parental well-being, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) to measure children’s well-being, the Parent Stress Scale (PSS) to investigate parental stress, and the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-R) to measure children’s resilience. The results show that confinement measures and changes in daily routine negatively affect parents’ psychological dimensions, thus exposing children to a significant risk for their well-being. Our results also detect some risk factors for psychological maladjustments, such as parental stress, lower levels of resilience in children, changes in working conditions, and parental psychological, physical, or genetic problems. In this study, we attempted to identify the personal and contextual variables involved in the psychological adjustment to the COVID-19 quarantine to identify families at risk for maladjustment and pave the way for ad hoc intervention programs intended to support them. Our data show promising results for the early detection of the determinants of families’ psychological health. It is important to focus attention on the needs of families and children—including their mental health—to mitigate the health and economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Enli Tuncay et al (2020) pointed out that health workers preferred to stay away from their homes and family members for a long time in the process of COVID-19 and they were in communication with their spouses and children without a physical contact and mostly through telephone. It was pointed out in some studies that children experienced boredom (Tiwari et al, 2020), economic insufficiency (Thevenon & Adema, 2020;Van Lancker & Parolin, 2020), inactiveness and some problems based on it (Buheji et al, 2020;Hammami et al, 2020;Sahu, 2020;Xiang et al, 2020), anxiety and fear (Dubey et al, 2020;Jiao et al, 2020), screen time (Xiang et al, 2020), changing and weakened parenthood (Cluver et al, 2020;Prime et al, 2020), special education needs and disabilities (Toseeb et al, 2020).…”

“…It is expected that the ripple effects of the circumstances outlined above are set to compro mise the healthy development trajectories of children in the early years in that they may have spill over effects on the development of the holistic domains (Buheji et al, 2020). As a result of lockdown, most young children were deprived of interaction and playing with other children.…”

The impact of COVID-19 on the holistic development of young South African at-risk children in three early childhood care and education centres in a rural area

Early childhood care and education (ECCE) has gained recognition as an important means of promoting the holistic development of the inseparable social, emotional, cognitive and physical facets of education in the early childhood years. Since early childhood development poses challenges to many young children, the prolonged mandatory closure of ECCE centres during the national lockdown exposed many young children to the additional risk of being deprived of the continuity of learning, security, health and safety. This article draws from a research project in three Bafenyi ECCE centres in the rural area of Ikageng (Potchefstroom) in the NorthWest province of South Africa and focuses on how COVID-19 influences the holistic development of young children at risk. A qualitative approach was taken, following a participatory actionlearning and action-research (PALAR) design where all participants collaborate as equal partners and construct their own meaning from experiences within the action-learning set (ALS) to advocate for change. Within a critical and transformative paradigm teacherparticipants were encouraged to think critically about the holistic development of young children and to consider how collaboration could lead to social change. The data collection method was limited to the recorded group discussions of the ALS during Cycle 1 of the PALAR process. Given that positive environmental and contextual factors are able to lay the groundwork for holistic development in the early years, the African Ubuntu philosophy of compassion, respect and humanity was viewed as being suitable to serve as theoretical framework for the study. The findings highlight that, even during a lockdown, it vital that collaborative ways are found to harness the precious early years with a view not only to meeting these children's needs but also to laying the foundation for a sustainable future. It is argued that if teachers were to apply the Ubuntu philosophy, they would learn how to make lifelong use of the acquired skills to improve the holistic well-being of young children on an ongoing basis.
